A Christmas Ball to Remember

Description

When her father and several of his miners die in a mysterious mining accident at the family mine in Wales, beautiful business owner and baron’s daughter Gloria Munday must save her company from financial ruin. An unscrupulous competitor offers marriage as a lifeline, but she rejects him, underestimating the danger he poses. Instead, Gloria enters the London Season, seeking a wealthy husband willing to fund her plans. But her hard-headed decision is challenged when irresistible passion melts her resolve.

Richard Argent, Earl of Morningside, is tired of his rakish lifestyle and struggles to live up to his responsibilities as earl. Jealous of the married bliss his brother enjoys, Richard wants the same for himself. He joins the Season seeking a wife who is both beautiful and business-minded; she will help him manage the family’s affairs. Unexpectedly, he encounters an unusual young woman who fits the bill perfectly―and falls hard for her. But he has a rival who’s squeaky-clean, and Richard doubts she could love a sinner like him.

When Cupid is chairman of the board, a couple’s cool-headed business decisions to marry are voted down and out when they encounter true love for the first time in their lives.
