The Snowbound Baron

Christine Symonds is a successful poet and lady of letters, a happily independent woman. In her forty-eight years, there’s been only one man she considered marrying. When she was young, Klaus von Bauersdorff took her seriously and set her mind on fire. But an English girl whose only fortune was her intelligence had no hope of marrying a handsome young German baron—no matter how in love they were.

Now, twenty years later, when he turns up on the doorstep of her cottage, she can think of nothing better than to help her old friend have a splendid Advent and Christmas…even if it means a little scheming to make sure he can celebrate some of the traditions he’s had to leave behind. And although she has no need to marry, what woman would not be charmed by a devoted gentleman bearing twenty-four carefully-selected Advent gifts…?
