Lady Cristiana Kendal craved passion, a fleeting escape from her lonely world—until one stolen night with the irresistible Adam Brighton changed everything. She now harbors a secret she vows to protect at all costs: a daughter born of that passionate encounter, a child Adam must never know exists. But when the formidable Duke of Danby summons Adam to Yorkshire for the Christmastide holiday, Cristiana's carefully guarded world is shattered. As the snow falls gently outside her doorstep, Adam arrives uninvited, rekindling the fire between them with every glance, every whispered word. Yet beneath his charming smile lies a man who once walked away, a rogue she cannot trust with her heart—or her daughter's future. Now, Cristiana faces an impossible choice: surrender to the man who ignites her deepest desires, or protect the innocent life that means more to her than her own. As old passions reignite and hidden truths come to light, Cristiana must decide—will she risk everything for a second chance at love, or will she sacrifice her heart to keep her daughter safe? In a season of miracles, can Cristiana find the courage to open her heart once more, or will the ghosts of her past destroy any hope for their future?

After brilliantly reimagining the worlds of Oz, Wonderland, Dickensian London, and the Nutcracker, the New York Times bestselling author of Wicked turns his unconventional genius to Hans Christian Andersen's "The Wild Swans," transforming this classic tale into an Italian-American girl's poignant coming-of-age story, set amid the magic of Christmas in 1960s New York. Following her brother's death and her mother's emotional breakdown, Laura now lives on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, in a lonely townhouse she shares with her old-world, strict, often querulous grandparents. But the arrangement may be temporary. The quiet, awkward teenager has been getting into trouble at home and has been expelled from her high school for throwing a record album at a popular girl who bullied her. When Christmas is over and the new year begins, Laura may find herself at boarding school in Montreal. Nearly unmoored from reality through her panic and submerged grief, Laura is startled when a handsome swan boy with only one wing lands on her roof. Hiding him from her ever-bickering grandparents, Laura tries to build the swan boy a wing so he can fly home. But the task is too difficult to accomplish herself. Little does Laura know that her struggle to find help for her new friend parallels that of her grandparents, who are desperate for a distant relative’s financial aid to save the family store. As he explores themes of class, isolation, family, and the dangerous yearning to be saved by a power greater than ourselves, Gregory Maguire conjures a haunting, beautiful tale of magical realism that illuminates one young woman’s heartbreak and hope as she begins the inevitable journey to adulthood.
