A Marquess to keep the holidays Merry… Stranded by a snowstorm in Maybridge Falls, the Marquess of Merriweather runs into the last person in the world he wants to see-Lady Eve Bailey. Because the last time he saw the auburn-haired beauty, she stole his heart and then crushed it into a thousand pieces. Lucky for him, he's over her. It doesn't matter that she's more beautiful now, or that gazing into her eyes makes him forget the rest of the world. Let's not even mention those cinnamon flavored kisses… He's over her. Really. A Lady who's suffered enough… With the loss of their mother, and their father's utter despair, All Lady Eve Bailey and her sisters want is to know happiness again. Unfortunately for Eve, instead of finding a little joy and laughter when Christmas rolls around, she finds Nicholas St. Hope, a flesh and blood reminder of rejection and lost love. A scrumptious reminder indeed… But she won't fall for him this time! She's older and wiser now. So why is she baking him pies? And why is she allowing him to remove her stockings?
