THE SCOUNDREL BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Lady Aletheia Lockwood has no intention of spending Christmas trapped beneath the same roof as Jasper Bellamy, the scandalous Duke of Blackthorn—the man who once stole her heart, shattered it, and disappeared without explanation.

But when a fierce snowstorm strands them at a secluded country estate, avoiding Jasper becomes impossible. Especially when unfinished arguments turn into stolen glances, old memories, and kisses far too tempting to resist.

Jasper never stopped loving zv. He left her years ago to protect her from a secret that could have destroyed them both. Now he has until Christmas morning to reveal the truth, earn her forgiveness, and prove that the tons most notorious scoundrel might still be worthy of her heart.

With mistletoe overhead, snow closing in, and their friends determined to bring them together, Aletheia must decide whether loving Jasper again would be her greatest mistake—or the Christmas miracle she never dared wish for.

The Scoundrel Before Christmas is a passionate Regency romance featuring a second chance at love, forced proximity, a snowbound house party, meddling friends, long-buried secrets, and one irresistible duke determined to win back the woman he has always loved.
