The Winter Bride: A Rogues and Gentleman Christmas Novella

Written by Emma V Leech

Narrated by Philip Battley

Widowed farmer Ned Hardy is facing a bleak winter and a lonely Christmas alone, when a beautiful young woman turns up on his doorstep in the middle of the night, frozen and terrified. Stunned by the arrival of a fine lady who looks like a Christmas angel, all of Ned’s protective instincts flare to life.

Grace Honeyfield is on the run from her abusive brother and the terrifying man he’s forcing her to marry. Escaping into the darkness on a snowy night, she stumbles onto an isolated farm, and into the arms of a handsome farmer. Although not a gentleman by birth, Grace comes to realise Ned deserves the title more than any well bred man of her acquaintance.

When Ned offers to marry Grace to keep her safe, he dares hope that the future might hold more happiness than the past. To his astonishment Grace agrees to his proposal, and Ned can’t help but wonder if all his Christmases have come at once…

Reviews for The Winter Bride

[Jade Jameson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Such a rewarding story. Loved both the hero and heroine and how their atypical courtship was equal part compassion and desire. Just wished it was longer!
