From the author of The Winter Wish comes another Christmas tale of love and redemption that will delight and enchant this holiday season... Known as “Mad Lady Bea” by the townspeople of Blooming Glen, Lady Beatrice Tumbley has not left her estate since the tragic death of her husband on Christmas Eve. Terrified of the outside world she lives in complete seclusion, determined never to fall in love again. Until one cold, snowy night a stranger comes knocking at her door… One look at Jack Emerson and Beatrice knows the handsome rogue is nothing but trouble. But she can’t turn him away – not when he’s bleeding from a bullet wound and barely conscious. Against her better judgment she decides to help him, and he promptly repays the favor…by kissing her! As Christmas nears, Beatrice’s frozen heart finally begins to thaw…but Jack has no intention of competing with a ghost. If Beatrice cannot find a way to let go of her past, she risks ruining her future…and losing her true love all over again.
