When Sir Alexander Tattingham's traveling coach snaps an axle near the country estate of Lady Charlotte Tate—widowed Countess of Spencerford—suddenly the Christmastide season doesn't look so bleak. Possessed of mixed memories of past holidays, Charlotte isn't of a mind to celebrate this year, but when a handsome baronet knocks at her door needing shelter until the storm passes, she might change her mind. As forced proximity keeps the unlikely pair together, a valuable diamond necklace goes missing. A curious cat and the love of snowy outings could possibly nurture the heated attraction between them into a long-lasting romance. This was previously in the Six Mistletoe Scandals boxed set.
