The Widow

After enduring a horrible marriage to her late husband, the Marquess of Dunsmore, Jane Moore is finally free to lead her own life. But it's the Christmas season, and she feels quite discontent. In an effort to cheer herself up, she decides to host a house party at Dunsmore Castle. It will be the perfect opportunity to try her hand at matchmaking.

Alden, Lord Dunsmore, has no desire to attend a house party, but he decides to accept the invitation rather than spend the holiday season alone. Again. It helps that the party will be hosted by a woman that he finds most intriguing. This will give him the chance to spend additional time with her. As Jane recruits Alden to help with her matchmaking attempts, she slowly lowers the barriers around her heart and begins to trust the charming lord. But when he discovers she has a secret that she's been keeping from him, will he be able to forgive her for her deceit? Will the magic of Christmas be enough for two vastly different people to take a chance on love?
