He jilted her sister. She will never forgive him for it. Can her anger survive a snowing in and a Christmas truce?

Emma Caldwell doesn’t hate anyone—except for Hugh Warrilow, the man who jilted her older sister and left like a coward to join the army. Men are clearly not to be trusted, and Emma is determined not to give her heart to one. No, a marriage of convenience is the very thing to suit her.


Hugh Warrilow has been secretly in love with Emma Caldwell for years, so when the time comes to live up to both families’ expectations and marry her sister, he can’t find it in himself to do it. Disgraced and misunderstood, he joins to fight Napoleon on the Continent, hoping he will forget Emma and be forgotten by everyone he has disappointed.
An injury brings Hugh home—just in time for Christmas and the snowstorm that leaves him trapped under the same roof as Emma. How will he explain that his unforgivable act was motivated by how desperately he loved her? Her icy reception doesn’t leave him the chance, nor does it offer much hope for the season’s expectation of peace on earth and goodwill to men.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely, Snowy, Romantic, ~ Beautiful Regency Clean Romance
Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2020
Verified Purchase
I'm so glad I read this book! I enjoyed it from beginning to end.
Emma was so wrapped up in her hatred of Hugh - and not forgiving him - that she couldn't see the truly good and honorable man he really was, until they became snowed in for Christmas. What a beautiful and romantic setting!
I loved Hugh's noble character and how he struggled with his secret love for Emma for so many years, as well as his own self worth.
This book is complete with well written characters, great dialogue, sparky attraction with some nice kissing, a fun snowball fight, good supporting characters and side stories, and of course beautiful, clean romance.
This author is very talented and has an elegant style of writing that flows smoothly.
I have enjoyed all of her novels so far, and I highly recommend this one, especially if you love snowy, romantic settings!

This was a great read. It had a lovely slower burn kind of enemies to more romance that I really needed after the last book I read went by super fast. These characters each had a lot to work through, and it was great to see how everything worked out between them and how their feelings each slowly developed over the time they were snowed in. Plus I absolutely love a hero who has been in love with the heroine for a long time. So far this series has been lovely and I'm looking forward to the rest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Tale Of Slow Discovery of Love
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2019
Verified Purchase
A plausible plot, with well developed and consistent characters who are a little morally flawed, but still likable. The writing is crisp and clear with a delightful cadence that makes it a pleasure to read. While the reader expects a happy conclusion to this love story, there is plenty of drama, and delayed expectations. In short, this story doesn’t drag, and has enough witty dialogue to keep you turning pages gladly. This is an author I plan to follow.

4.0 out of 5 stars (3.5 stars) - an enemies-to-lovers romance
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2019
Verified Purchase
I must admit that I initially didn't care much for the harsh & judgmental Emma. The author did a good job of helping her character to grow & develop, though, which helped to redeem her.

Poor Hugh. What a difficult position he found himself in back then, and hardly better when he returned home.

The truce as they were snowed in was a sweet idea, and I loved the fairly believable way their thawing was handled.

The ending tumbles a little too quickly & conveniently, but it's a lovely Christmas-flavored happily-ever-after

*Clean romance level: sweet kisses

Hugh Warrilow was supposed to marry Lucy. It had been arranged by their parents years ago. The problem was, he was in love with her sister Emma. To avoid hurt, he broke off the arrangement and joined the military to escape. He thought that would be the least painful option for everyone. However, his retreat made Emma hate him. When he returned home 3 years later after an injury, he hoped to make amends and do the right thing. When He returned to his home that first night he was surprised to find Emma there at dinner with his family. The weather prevented her from leaving for several days so they were forced to see each other. Emma began to realize Hugh was not the monster she thought and Hugh realized he was still very much in love with her.

The author holds true to wonderful characters and well developed settings and plot.
A sweet story of a man (Hugh) who struggles to right some wrongs in his life but feels inept at accomplishing that very deed.
A strong willed lady who struggles to see what others see in that very man who, in her eyes, wronged a beloved sister.
This tale is of hope and Christmas magic and love.
I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
