This is a very short story but it is a very nice one.  Our heroine is involved in a riding accident and on foot as she heads for home.  She has a limp from a long ago injury.  She is accosted by a couple of ruffians but saved by our hero.The hero is a man who was injured in the war.  He has a scar on his face and has lost a leg.  It turns out he is a distant relative of a man in the neighborhood, and he has inherited the property.  The hero had been engaged but the shallow woman broke it off after he returned home with his injuries.The heroine is immediately attracted to him as he is to her.  The hero had planned to sell the property he inherited but waits to have improvements made.  No one in the neighborhood knows he is the new owner.He leaves the area but cannot forget her anymore than she can him.  He has to return around Christmas and meets up with the heroine at a celebration.  They share a kiss or two and he calls on the next day.  While out riding he shows her his inheritance and makes clear his intentions toward her.There is a little aggravation with the former  fiancee but things get set a right.Sweet story -- not much in the way of heat.  Just a kiss and some stirrings.  But I liked it and would recommend it for a quick romance pick me up.
