Synopsis

Alarmed by the sound of an intruder, Rose St. Claire fetches her pistol. She's shocked to discover that the trespasser is a handsome gentleman—one who states that the house, which Rose recently inherited from her late benefactor, was stolen from his father decades ago. He claims it is now his. And it is—but not entirely. As it turns out, Hammond Court has been left to them both—and neither can evict the other without forfeiting their right to the property.

Wealthy and ruthless, Maxwell Burke, Duke of Grantham, has spent years regaining the properties his father lost to bad wagers. Only Hammond Court remains. But Rose has no intention of leaving. In fact, with Christmas drawing near, she merrily plans a holiday party. Max despises such merriment—until he sees it as an opportunity.

Max will forgive the debt of another young duke's family if the attractive gentleman woos Rose at the party, ultimately marries her—and returns her share of the estate to Max. It's foolproof. Except that Rose's spirited joy is seductive, recalling within Max feelings of happiness—and awakening a deep attraction. Has Max cooked his own Christmas goose—or is there a chance love will prevail?

Contains mature themes.

Goodreads review by Wendy Darling on January 03, 2025

Loved the despairing Christmassy beginning as well as his poignant memories of his grandmother's ginger biscuits. The attraction between them is also well done overall. Still, it eventually felt pretty repetitive and way too long--seriously, no one cares if he learns to ice skate! Chop that, and many......more
