The Winter He Couldn't Forget: A Regency Christmas Novella
A frozen heart. A Christmas carol. A love worth melting for.
Gabriel Sterling, the Earl of Wrentham, has perfected the art of solitude. After twenty-nine Christmases of familial chaos, he's escaped to London for a season of blessed silence—no caroling, no festivities, and certainly no emotional entanglements.
Widow Meg Winslow has spent four years building a life for her two children after her husband's death. With a talented young son who loves music and a daughter who believes in magic, she has little time for wishes of her own—especially not for the attention of a cold, aloof earl who disrupts their perfectly ordered existence.
When a Christmas carol on a snowy London street brings them together, Gabriel finds himself drawn to the small family despite his best intentions. One impulsive invitation to his Christmas concert leads to snowball fights, fireside confidences, and the reawakening of long-dormant hearts.
But Gabriel's need for control threatens Meg's hard-won independence, and as Christmas Day approaches, they must decide if love is worth the risk of melting the ice around their hearts.
A tender, emotional Christmas novella about finding family in the most unexpected places and learning that the best gifts can't be arranged—only earned through trust, patience, and the magic of the season.
