Summary

For the first time in her sheltered life, Larissa Ascot's wishes for a merry Christmas seem to be in peril. Her father is off to the Colonies on business, but is far overdue to be home. Thus Larissa is left to handle the rumors of her family's bankruptcy, panicked creditors pounding on her door, and eviction. On top of all that, she must now contend with her enigmatic would-be "benefactor," Vincent Everett, the Baron of Windsmoor.

The charming and handsome rogue has offered to shelter Larissa, her little brother, and their few remaining servants in his home, and Larissa has no choice but to accept his proposal - unless she and her younger brother Thomas wish to wake up chin-deep in snow on Christmas morning.

The baron would be the first to admit that it is more than the Yuletide spirit of good will that has inspired his generosity. From the moment he first set eyes on the enchanting Miss Ascot, he was bewitched. And now that she has taken up residence in his home as well as in his heart, he aches with wanting her - a most unfortunate state of affairs, since the proud beauty obviously despises him....And since Vincent had previously sworn to seek a righteous vengeance on Larissa's family.

But Christmas is a time for miracles, after all, when love, at the seasonal peak of its power, can triumph over adversity. The more the lovely lady resists Vincent's considerable attractions, the hotter her desire for him grows. And in these magical days, something truly wondrous could occur - as the spirit of forgiveness reaches down to touch two rivals and shower Vincent and Larissa with precious gifts of tenderness and ecstasy unbound.

Very disappointing for a dependable author

I'm gutted to say this as Johanna Lindsey is one of my favourite authors, but this book was a big disappointment. I actually stopped listening a half hour before the end because I couldn't take it any more. The characters showed no development and there was seriously no reason for the female character to love the male character other than attraction and pity Eric really don't inspire real love. he showed no kindness, no growth in character or any redeeming qualities. if this wasn't labelled as an unabridged version I would have assumed they just left important parts out. Narrator was fair but not great at the male voices who just blurred into each other.
