A father's ultimatum… On Christmas Day, Lady Elizabeth Tierney is aghast when her father tells her he's found her a bridegroom. She'll meet her suitor, Viscount Fairchild, at tonight's festivities, and Elizabeth had better charm him – or else! A daughter's defiance.

At least until she falls in love with one of her admirers – and that shows no sign of happening. In a fit of temper, Elizabeth escapes to Hyde Park where she stumbles upon an intriguing gentleman who steals her heart. Lady Elizabeth's choice? Which suitor will win her hand? Or has fate got another trick up its sleeve for Lady Elizabeth and her winter stranger?
