description: A heartwarming stand-alone novella from New York Times best-selling author Elizabeth Hoyt!Adam Rutledge Viscount d'Arque really rather loathes Christmas. The banal cheerfulness. The asinine party games. And worst of all the obligatory trip to the countryside. His grandmother however loves the holiday - and Adam loves his grandmother so he'll brave the fiercest snowstorm to please her. But when their carriage wheel snaps they're forced to seek shelter at the home of the most maddening infuriating and utterly beguiling woman he's ever met....Sarah St. John really rather loathes rakes. The self-satisfied smirks. The sly predatory gazes. Oh and the constant witty banter rife with double meaning. But in the spirit of the season she'll welcome this admittedly handsome viscount into her home. But as the snowstorm rages the Yule log crackles and the tension rises Sarah and Adam find themselves locked in a fiery passionate kiss. If love is the true meaning of Christmas it's the one gift this mismatched pair can't wait to unwrap.
