Christmastide With His Countess

Can a snowed-in Christmas lead to a second chance at love?
Scarlett may be the Countess of Oxford, but she has seen very little of her earl since their wedding. Schooled by her mother's experiences, Scarlett carefully guards her heart from any man, most especially her handsome and charming husband. She shares her love and gifts with those less fortunate than herself, including her husband's tenants, whom he has ignored for far too long.
Rejected by his bride on the wedding night of their arranged marriage, Hunter, Earl of Oxford, leaves her to their country home, pushing her away from his heart and mind while he focuses on matters of importance. Until one day, he cannot ignore a summons from his steward.
At the beginning of the Christmastide season, Hunter finds himself trapped by a snowstorm. He is surprised when he sees his wife's frosty exterior beginning to melt, revealing a mysterious and sensual woman underneath. Will days together, in the presence of sleigh rides, mistletoe, and the Christmas spirit, drive them apart forever, or reveal to them a love they never thought possible?
