About this ebook
Frederico Cerkev is a man of silence and stone, a grieving widower raising his daughter in a castle that feels like a tomb.
The law says he must marry by New Year’s Eve, or his daughter’s future—and his family’s legacy—will be stripped away.
Miya Morales arrives in the middle of a snowstorm, a woman looking for a fresh start who finds herself in a business arrangement.
She’s supposed to be his temporary wife, a mother figure for a child who has forgotten how to smile.
But as the holidays approach, Frederico’s frozen heart begins to thaw under Miya’s warmth.
A marriage of convenience might just be the Christmas miracle they both need, and you can experience the magic when you buy now.

After reading countless books by Victoria Pinder, I can honestly say that I continue to enjoy her books. Forbidden Lord is the twelfth book in the Princes of Avce series and centers around Frederico, an Avce earl, and Miya, an American advertising executive. After Miya's life is upended, she travels to Avce to apply for a secretarial position for Frederico. As the law of Avce dictates, Frederico must marry before his 30th birthday and suddenly, Miya is swept up in a marriage. This is a sweet romance about blending lives, families and traditions. There are a few rough patches when secrets are discovered but love overcomes them and a happily ever after is accomplished. A feel-good, Christmas story!

This was the twelfth book in the Princes of Avce Series but is read as a standalone. This was a sweet romance that started with a matchmaker, the Avce matchmaking agency. Miya went half way across the world to the village of Avce for a job opportunity with the guy who she was paired with via the matchmaker. He has to marry before he turns 30 in order to keep his fortune. They enter into a business arrangement marriage where she gets money to start her ad business and he gets to save his fortune. His heart was off limits as he was still in love with his late fiance and the mother of his adorable two year old daughter. These two lost souls are really perfect for each other and their chemistry is strong. Lots of drama with the ghost of a deceased wife. A precious little girl and lots of Christmas traditions and decorations. The characters were well developed and likable. This was an extremely well written story with lots of depth, plenty of drama and twists galore. A great ending.
