“Book Descriptions: Charles Morris faces life with stubborn stoicism and a smile – except when it comes to returning home. Son of an apothecary, he will forever be a disappointment to his family. When his closest friend convinces him to return to his house party for Christmas, he wonders just how he can avoid his past.
Sophia has but one wish – to go home for Christmas. It is a privilege far too great for a woman on a schoolteacher’s salary, so when an old friend offers her passage on a stagecoach to a nearby town, it is too great an offer to ignore. Even if it does mean she has to spend time at an earl and countess’ house party.
When the carefree Charles and straight-laced Sophia collide, they doubt they will ever understand one another. But will a wager, a snowed-in encounter, and a frost fair turn these enemies into lovers?
This steamy Regency Christmas romance is a standalone story, featuring a hero who appeared as a secondary character in Ellie St. Clair's A Match Made at Christmas.” DRIVE
