A Gift for Lord Trevelin

Description

**This story was first published as The Lord Who Sneered in “The Lord Who Sneered and Other Tales: A Regency Holiday Anthology”.**

Debutante Lady Sophie Lundell has been warned about the notorious Julian Silvester, Marquis of Trevelin, but when she encounters him at a Yuletide ball, she senses his loneliness. She is also curious about the scar that leads most to believe he is sneering at them, and burns to hear the story that she is convinced connects his scar with his aura of loneliness. She draws the story from his lips, one that he has never told anyone in its completeness, one of such deceit, betrayal, ostracizing, and misery, that her heart aches or him. Come Christmas day, she is surprised by a visit from the marquis. She is even more surprised when she learns the gift she has given him.

A tender tale of hope, faith, and charity, mingled with true love. Readers of The Lord Trevelin Mysteries will especially enjoy seeing the marquis get his Happily Ever After.
