Author Description

Having been widowed for the last three years, Lady Julianna Carsington has come to London for Christmas to seek out good company and enjoyment, while secretly hoping her heart might be stolen away by a worthy gentleman. Lord Wessex, however, is an entirely unsuitable gentleman and as much as he might try to catch her eye, Julianna is determined not to give him even a single glance. Andrew, the Earl of Wessex, is determined to garner Lady Carsington's interest. Known by society to be uncatchable given that he has never once considered courtship or even called upon a young lady, a lost bet forces his hand. Instead of flirting and carousing with any lady he pleases, he must now concentrate solely on only one - the widowed Lady Carsington. With the lights and laughter of Christmas swirling around them both, will Julianna be able to keep herself free from Lord Wessex' clutches? And what will Andrew do when he begins to realize there is no other lady who can compare to the beautiful Lady Carsington?
