Born to a miserable family, Lord Trent has found joy and comfort in the folds of his best friend's family. Except, over the years he's begun to notice something. Winnie who he'd always seen as another sister, is in fact something more--a captivating woman. Now, loving Winnie as he does, Trent knows she deserves more than a rogue in her life.
With Winnie's mother rushing her off to try and make a match at Lady Weston's annual Christmas party, Winnie has but a few days to show Trent, that all she needs is his love. But then this is Christmas … when anything can happen!

But when Letitia finds not the abominable Homer Trout waiting for her at the house party but Lord Weybourne himself, the very desire they each feel for the other is all that is needed to create that perfect scandal...
To Win a Quiet Heart by Renee Bernard
