Like the author's other novels, this story has editing issues, but if you can look past them you will find a heart-warming story featuring a delightful H/h.  Christmas is coming, and Lord Rule decides to marry.  He has found the perfect candidate he feels.  She is young, quiet, graceful, and will prove to be the perfect wife when she, naturally, agrees to marry him.  Standing in his way is her guardian (also her cousin) who feels that Rule is not the right man for the young lady in question.  Rule resents his future wife's  27 year-old cousin who seems determined to force him to impress her if he wants to earn her approval for the match.  Really, it is too much!  Who does the woman thinks she is!?Rule invites (or rather, forces his mother to invite) the cousins to his family estate for Christmas determined to win over the guardian so that he can finally make his wedding plans, because of course, the world revolves around him and his plans.  A dose of reality, however, is introduced when it becomes apparent that things are not going to go as smoothly as planned.  Several secondary characters add humor to the piece, and also force the H to think about what he really wants and just how he is going about things.Nice to read a story in which the H grows and matures as a result of the h's influence.  The h, already filled with wisdom and maturity, just needs to be loved and accepted for who she is.  Nice short novel to enjoy regardless of the season.
