Disregarded & Adored

Love's last laugh—amid snowflakes and mistletoe.

England, 1812: Viscountess Elaine Winters, twice wed and never loved, thought her heart had settled into the quiet of life's autumn. Yet, one snowy mishap at Errington Hall stirs the embers of a long-dormant hope for an unexpected love.

He adores in silence—this Christmas, though, … Gilbert Stirling, the Earl of Errington, has long harbored a secret affection for the captivating Elaine. As winter wraps its chill around the hall, a twist of fate—and a bit of scheming by their children—gives him the chance to win her heart. But each of his advances is met with the frost of her past indifference.

… he vows she'll hear his heart.

Amidst the glow of Yuletide joy and the murmur of long-kept secrets, Elaine confronts her fears. Can she melt the ice around her heart to let Gilbert in? As the cold nights linger, their burgeoning warmth becomes a testament to Gilbert's devotion, challenging Elaine to believe that love can bloom even in life's later seasons.

As snow falls, so does her guard.
