Gift of Love

Blush: This is a sweet romance (kisses only, no sexual content)

Lady Rebecca Hastings has lost her sparkle, her intense joy for living, since her intended was killed in the Battle of Waterloo. On the day that Rebecca's wedding had been scheduled to take place, she is reunited with her childhood friend and neighbor, Adrian Russell, Marquess of Burton.

Rebecca is immediately conscious of new feelings of contentment as she speaks with Adrian about the happy experiences they shared as children. Memories of their past combined with the cheer of the Christmas season-and some alarming visits from the spirit of her intended-eventually bring Rebecca the knowledge of an enduring love for Adrian. But can he ever accept her as more than a friend?
