He's rage and ruin. She's fire and resolve. Winter is upon them.
A witty and sensual Regency Romance from Best Selling Author Emma V Leech
Edward Greyston, Marquess of Winterbourne, has no patience for Christmas cheer -- or for people, for that matter. Haunted by the horrors of Waterloo and plagued by violent nightmares, he wants nothing more than solitude. Instead, he is blackmailed by his sister into hosting a Regency Christmas house party he is certain will be absolute torment.
He's not wrong.

But he hadn't counted on Belinda "Belle" Holbrook -- a clever bluestocking heroine with a sharp mind, a sharper tongue, and a scandalous plan to trap the gullible Lord Nibley into marriage. When Edward attempts to warn the poor man, Belle turns the tables... and traps him instead.
Furious but honour?bound, Edward does the only thing a gentleman can: he marries the woman he neither trusts nor understands, creating a marriage of convenience born of scandal.

He intends to keep her at arm's length.
Belle has other ideas.
Refusing to be cowed by her grim, glacial husband, Belle is determined to thaw Lord Winterbourne's frozen heart -- even if she must be a little wicked to do it. And the more she pushes, the more Edward discovers that the woman he never wanted may be the only one capable of saving him from the darkness he cannot escape.

A tortured hero.
A fearless heroine.
A winter marriage forged in scandal... and a passion neither of them expected.

Perfect for readers who love Regency Christmas romance, tortured heroes, clever bluestocking heroines, forced marriage stories, slow?burn historical romance, and healing love after trauma.

????? "This story had it all, clever writing, witty characters, passion and intrigue." ~ Amazon customer review

Warning: This book contains haughtiness of the highest degree, a smattering of mild swearing and after some time and effort, a small amount of graphic and descriptive sex scenes.
