Can a Christmas scandal melt the heart of a woman who swore she’d never love again?
After surviving a cruel marriage, widow Everleigh Chatterton has no intention of surrendering her freedom—or her heart—ever again. Society’s gatherings leave her cold, and she keeps all gentlemen at a careful distance. But when she reluctantly agrees to attend a Christmastide house party, she comes face-to-face with the very last man she wants to see: the dangerously charming Duke of Sheffield. She’s rebuffed him before. This time, it may be her resolve that breaks.
Griffin Townsend, Duke of Sheffield, has spent nearly a year searching for the right woman to help him raise his orphaned ward. What he never expected was to find her in Everleigh—elegant, aloof, and utterly captivating. When he sees her soft side emerge with his young charge, he’s certain she’s the one. Winning her trust, however, may require more than charm and persistence—it may demand the one thing he’s never freely given: his heart.
But as snow falls and scandal brews, two guarded hearts must risk everything for a second chance at love—and a Christmastide they’ll never forget.
December with a Duke is the third installment in the Seductive Scoundrels series by Collette Cameron. This book has one of my favorite nemesis in it. Caroline Chatterton is one of those characters that I just love to hate. “Swathed in a shockingly immodest carmine-colored gown, Caroline’s abundant bosoms were on full display. She lifted a sherry glass to her rouged, smirking lips as she stepped from the shadows where spiders and centipedes and other unpleasant creepy crawlies were wont to loiter.” It is a lovely romance about a woman who has suffered the loss of a child. Everleigh is working through deep grief and Cameron gives a spot on account of that journey. Cameron does a magnificent job of combining humor with a truly heart warming story.
