Christmas in Regency London, a penniless beauty and a Baron whose largesse should be suspect. Beauty overcomes the Baron and in the doing is a very enjoyable read.
First he evicts her, then he offers her temporary shelter. Can she trust him? Should she trust him?...
Another good read from Lindsey.

a treasured gift of love with an enchanting winter's tale that sees two warring hearts warmed and delightfully joined in a season of giving. Even though Larissa's family is bankrupt and being evicted, she's still wishing for a merry Christmas....Christmas is the time of miracles after all!
I loved this book. Nice story and not too unbelievable or graphic. Involves Larissa Ascot and Vincent Everett. Tied into revenge Vincent actually falls in love with his enemies daughter. What a ride.
Tepid Regency romance about a baron who is so cold he thinks he has no emotions whatsoever, & the beautiful innocent who warms his heart.
