Description

He left her at the altar. She married another. Can he thaw her heart on the coldest night of the year?

Dowager Duchess Katherine is enjoying a winter in Wiltshire when a blizzard brings a half-frozen man to her door seeking refuge from the storm. Providing hospitality to the man who left her at the altar twenty-five years ago isn't exactly her idea of a happy Christmas, but there is something different about him.

After a horrific accident leaves his traveling coach engulfed in flames on the coldest night of the winter, Thomas, Duke of Pendleton, walks for miles in search of a light. Nearly frozen, he ends up in the care of his first love, a woman who married another when his duty to the Crown interfered. Although he had different plans for how he was going to spend Christmas, he soon changes his mind—especially when he learns Katherine's secret.
Will she give him the second chance he so desperately needs? Or allow him to carry out his desperate plan for the holiday? Perhaps a winter kiss is all it will take for everyone to have a Happy Christmas.
