Description
When Eleanor Transome is swept into an engagement by the last wishes of her dying father, she finds herself bound to Randolph, the destitute Earl of Falloden—an arrangement born of necessity rather than love. As Christmas approaches, the couple retreats from London to his ancestral estate, where the season’s warmth collides with the sharp realities of pride, poverty, and the fragile hope of starting anew. With a marriage of convenience as their only beginning, Eleanor and Randolph must learn how to trust one another while navigating family ties, unexpected loyalties, and the emotional cost of first impressions. Mary Balogh’s signature blend of Regency-era romance and intimate character study turns a holiday setting into a stage for transformation, exploring themes of redemption, resilience, and the slow, surprising growth of true affection.
