title: How the Duke Stole Christmas
author: Lucas, Alanna
description: Can the magic of Christmas melt his frozen heart?
  Theodore Winslow, Duke of Greystone, has no wish to celebrate Christmas, but heâ€™s returning to his ancestral home for his widowed motherâ€™s sake. Knowing her mission is to secure him a wife, heâ€™ll be keeping his heart on iceâ€”better that than to have it repeatedly broken.
  Patience Leybourne is spending Yuletide at Castle Greystone, hoping to revive the happiness of family Christmases past. When sheâ€™s asked by the Dowager Duchess to do the decorations, sheâ€™s delighted.  But the next morning she finds her mistletoe and garlands torn down. Who could be so lacking in festive spirit?
  Itâ€™s the Duke of Greystone himself whoâ€™s destroyed Patienceâ€™s efforts to bring cheer. And thereâ€™s no comfort or joy in realizing heâ€™s the mystery man whom she so passionately kissed at a masked ball.  How will she manage to endure his company all the way through to Twelfth Nightâ€”when that fiery attraction is still burning between them?
