Log Line: He’s running from his past; she’s running from her future. But on a snowy winter night, they find each
other and the surprising gift of love.
Blurb:
Sir Nicholas has
given up on marriage. These days he’s content to captain his friend’s troops
and avoid entanglements—until one winter night when he rescues a half-frozen
woman from a snowstorm. Her irrepressible spirit and kindness to others reminds
him that all ladies aren’t like his former intended, who wed his brother while
Nick was on crusade. But he can’t open his heart to Lady Clare. She’s bound to
another, and Nick won’t forfeit his honor. Even if she were free, he has
nothing to offer but love, and this lady deserves everything.
Lady Clare’s
dying grandfather has arranged her betrothal, but the arrival of the man she’s
to wed sends her fleeing into a snowstorm. Injured when her horse stumbles,
she’s rescued by a mysterious knight. She recovers at his run-down manor, safe
at last—until her betrothed tracks her down two days before Christmas. Trapped
at home with the wedding imminent, she longs for the winter knight she’s come
to love.
Only a miracle can bring Clare and
Nick together. But at Christmas, anything is possible

Week 2 Excerpt
He grabbed his
mug, downed the last of his ale, and rose, the legs of the heavy bench
squalling against the wood floor. He picked up his still-damp cloak, then
tossed it across his chair. “Rance, lend me your mantle,” he called as he
strode toward the door.
The other knight
broke away from the group warming themselves at the fire and handed Nicholas
his dry cloak. “Want me to come along?”
“No need for you
to get out in this damned mess. I’ll see
what has Tom so upset. Make sure the door shuts, though, will you? That’s our
first repair once the storm ends.”
Impossible to
warm much of the hall when wind whistled down what little heat the central fire
produced. God knew, this place needed updating.
