Aletha Dewitt has led a charmed life. At least that is how it appears from the outside looking in. Yes, she has had everything a person could possibly desire—except real respect. She has more ideas and ambition than her brother will ever have, but the male members of her family are too archaic to notice. Nothing will stand in her way, not even love. 

Rafael, Conte Leone is traveling to attend the wedding of one of his closest friends. He never imagined he'd meet the woman of his dreams on a train, but he fully intends to do everything possible to win her heart. The stakes are high and he has no intention of losing...

Convincing the lady they belong together might prove more difficult than he anticipated though. With Christmas around the corner miracles are possible and both Rafael and Aletha wonder if the real magic is love.
