Book Description
Will a Christmas kiss give them a second chance for love? Mary Adams works as a seamstress, doing her best to forget the terror of her experience upon arriving in London a year and a half ago. A letter from home, advising of her mother’s illness and requesting she return home for Christmas, fills her with angst as she lacks the funds for the trip. But the arrival of an old flame from her village whose suit she rejected years ago upends her world. Arthur Reeves is stunned to see Mary Alice behind the counter at the dressmaker’s shop--the woman who broke his young heart. Now he’s known as the rogue solicitor with a successful career specializing in assisting clients with difficult tasks. He thought he put the past behind him--buried it with roguish behavior--and has no desire to rekindle their relationship, risking heartache again. When Mary finds the courage to ask if Arthur will help her make the long journey home, he reluctantly agrees. They soon realize they’ve both changed but not their feelings for one another. Mary can’t bring herself to tell Arthur what happened to her, certain he’ll turn away. But a snowstorm and some heated kisses might just be what they both need to heal old wounds. Will a rogue’s Christmas kiss give them a second chance for love or will the past emerge to keep them apart?
