The infamous Brightwell sisters—London’s most determined matchmakers—are convinced fate has delivered them the perfect opportunity to reunite two star-crossed lovers.
But while Nicholas remains as devastatingly handsome as ever, and Arabella’s traitorous heart still skips at his touch, she knows the truth about their broken engagement. Five years ago, she didn’t simply change her mind—she was forced to choose between love and family honour.
Now, snowed in together while the Brightwells orchestrate increasingly “accidental” encounters, Arabella must decide whether to reveal the secret that destroyed their future… or lose Nicholas forever.
As the storm rages outside and long-buried truths threaten scandal, Arabella must choose between reputation and the one man she never stopped loving.
A sparkling Regency romance filled with meddling matchmakers, second chances, and delicious scandal.
