A Rose in Winter

When her father's gambling debts threaten to destroy their family, spirited Erienne Fleming is forced into marriage with the mysterious Lord Saxton—a man so scarred and secretive he hides behind masks and cloaks. But as days pass, she discovers her reclusive husband is nothing like the cold, distant figure she expected; instead, he lavishes her with gentleness and genuine affection. Just when Erienne begins to settle into her unexpected life, the charming Christopher Seton—the man she once loved—reappears and rekindles feelings she thought she'd buried, forcing her into an impossible choice between duty and desire. This sweeping historical romance is pure emotional turmoil in the best way, perfect for readers who love complex relationships and characters caught between obligation and the heart's true calling.
