About this listen

A Rogues and Gentlemen Christmas Novella.

Widowed farmer Ned Hardy is facing a bleak winter and a lonely Christmas alone, when a beautiful young woman turns up on his doorstep in the middle of the night, frozen and terrified. Stunned by the arrival of a fine lady who looks like a Christmas angel, all of Ned’s protective instincts flare to life.

Grace Honeyfield is on the run from her abusive brother and the terrifying man he’s forcing her to marry. Escaping into the darkness on a snowy night, she stumbles onto an isolated farm, and into the arms of a handsome farmer. Although not a gentleman by birth, Grace comes to realize Ned deserves the title more than any well-bred man of her acquaintance.

When Ned offers to marry Grace to keep her safe, he dares hope that the future might hold more happiness than the past. To his astonishment Grace agrees to his proposal, and Ned can’t help but wonder if all his Christmases have come at once....

Loved this story and already have listened to it a couple of times.

One soul lonely and another soul terrified.

Ned is a farmer who has been widowed 2 years. It was a loveless marriage and all his life consists of is his farm.

In the middle of the night someone bangs on his door and when he opens it there is Grace, frozen and terrified. She has leapt from a carriage that is taking her to an arranged marriage, to a man who is a brute.

Well, he looks after her and guards her from harm ,she sees he is a kind and caring man and falls in love with him as he does her.

The story develops into a wonderful love story .If you get this hopefully you will enjoy. it

Philip Battley is a wonderful narrator.
