Bella Darcy is looking forward to spending a traditional family Christmas at Pemberley. But when Christian Warner arrives unexpectedly with his uncle, the Earl of Ripon, the presence of the handsome former army officer who stalks her thoughts and stirs her passions promises to make the festivities anything but traditional.

Warner tells Bella’s father that he has been set upon in the streets of London, and recognised his main attacker as Tobias Porter—a member of the Wickham family which bears a long-term grudge against the Darcys. Determined to save her parents from the spectre of the past, Bella joins forces with the Earl’s highly eligible heir in a daring attempt to draw Porter out.
