Her Christmastide wish didn't turn out how she'd hoped... Lady Adeline Carwyn has one wish for Christmastide: to experience love. Her yearning is answered in the form of Connor Hayes, the Earl of Westmore. He's handsome as sin, and as roguish as they come. Their encounter is magical and she's happy to spend Christmas Eve in his arms. She has doubts that come morning he will still profess to love her, and considers his words of endearment nothing but empty promises, even when she wants to believe him. When her father, the Duke of Whitewood, finds them in a compromising situation everything changes. Lady Adeline is in an untenable situation she should have prevented. While she doesn't regret her night with Connor, she does wish in the morning light his love could be real. Connor never expected to discover an enchanting lady at the Christmas house party he'd been invited to, but at first glance he's completely smitten. He pursues her ruthlessly, without any idea what he intends if he should catch her. When she falls willingly into his arms, he thanks providence for bringing her to him, but things change when his freedom is at stake. He is forced to question everything about himself, and has to make a decision that should not be difficult for a man in love. Will Connor propose marriage, or more importantly, love Adeline at all if they are forced to wed?
