“Tis the season to be jolly”
Gabriel, Lord Lockhart, is shocked by the woman his childhood friend has become. Distant and aloof, Maddie’s beguiling beauty remains, but she is nothing like the mouthy hellion he remembers. That is until the day he finds her on a dirty street in one of the seediest areas in London, championing children.
He soon realizes how wrong he’s been about her, and that his long-buried feelings for her have reignited into something even more powerful. Now all he has to do is keep her safe!
Miss Madeline Spencer loathes society, but has promised her parents she will behave so she can keep her freedom. Everything is going to plan until Gabe stomps back into her life. He uncovers her secret, and demands she stop taking risks. She soon realizes that the gentle boy she once loved is now a passionate man with an iron will. But she can’t allow him to deter her from what must be done. Even if it means she can’t be with the man she loves.
