But in her heart, she knows she’s his hellion. If only he would look at her and truly see it. Lucian Abbot, the Marquess of Kistleton, has desired Rosella ever since he realized she was no longer a girl, but a desirable woman.

With the magic of Christmas in the air and a shared wish for love, Rosella and Lucian are drawn together at last. But as the night ends, they must confront a difficult choice: to follow their hearts or honor their loyalties.
