Kara Elise Gentry’s trust in men is shattered...

...especially wealthy ones.

But after spending seven years as the wife of a powerful CEO—a praiseworthy man on the outside, but a monster behind closed doors—who can blame her?

Now, three years after finding the courage to leave him, Kara is trying to make a life for herself and her young daughter. She’s moving forward, working a job she loves at Boston-based New Dawn Women’s Council, the very non-profit that made her second chance possible.

That job lands her overseas in the quaint village of Port Willis just two weeks before Christmas. As the special events coordinator for New Dawn’s main office in Boston, Kara is overseeing the fundraiser that will help to finance and launch their London office.

And, like every good fundraiser should, this one includes a three-night stay at a historic English estate and a Winter Ball.

Kara has planned for every contingency—except Warren Kensington.

The handsome president of the charity’s board of directors seems like a good guy. Then again, so did Kara’s ex until they got married.

Still, there’s something about Warren that draws Kara to him. Can she let down her walls and trust again, or will they both return to Boston broken hearted this Christmas?

Lose yourself in the magic of this modern-day Austen-esque romance, where the friendships are sweet and the kisses are sweeter.
