Roxana Winston requires a wealthy husband-and she's been packed off to a Christmas house party to find one. But from the start, her attempts are handily thwarted by Maximilian St. Claire, a duke with an inconvenient sense of honor. And to Roxana's dismay, he is fast becoming as attractive as he is infuriating. Accustomed to privilege, the Duke of Trent has regarded lovely Miss Winston's schemes with amusement and growing infatuation...even to the point of nearly compromising her himself. Until, that is, he discovers the real reason for her actions. Now, he will risk everything to show Roxana how much he cares for her-and that theirs is a love for this season and always.
