'Tis the Season for secrets... and for true love.
Lord Braden's crumbling castle is filled with homeless and hard-luck creatures of all sorts. Today he's brought home something new—the young heiress he intends to wed was injured in a tragic accident. What will this proper, civilized miss think of his unconventional ways? This was not how he planned their first meeting to go!
Cassandra Loring expected to wake up dead. Instead, she finds herself in a remote and mysterious castle, tended by a host who clearly has something to hide. With danger nipping close at her heels, Cassandra allows him to mistake her for someone she's not—the woman he is planning to marry! There's only one way out of this mess: she needs to be gone long before Christmas Eve ushers in his wedding day... no matter how much she wishes to stay.
