As a spy for the Crown, he should have known better, so he did the only thing he could. He cut off all contact with the woman who had held his heart since childhood. Now, however, Eli finds himself at her family’s castle for Christmastide on a matter of great urgency. He also has to hope that the woman he spurned doesn’t toss him out into the snow before he can complete his mission. One magical spring night, Lady Christi Thorne gave away her heart to her childhood friend, Eli Queensbury, who then turned around and smashed that same heart to bits. She hopes that spending the Christmas season with her family at Highburn Castle will help her heal and move on with her life. However, when Eli appears at her front door in the middle of a blizzard, she can’t decide whether to kiss him or slam the door in his face. As Eli attempts to win Christi’s forgiveness, secrets from his past threaten to destroy any chance he has with the woman who has always held his heart. Can Christi forgive Eli for breaking her heart? If she does, can she also accept the truth of who he is or will this lord’s Christmas wish forever be denied? This 73,700-word "novella", which is a companion piece to the “Tales From Seldon Park” series, is written in the modern, Regency romance style for a slightly hotter and sexier read. It may not be appropriate for younger audiences.
