The arrival of two eligible gentlemen at Netherfield Park sends ripples of excitement through nearby Meryton. But Mr Bingley and Mr Darcy are not the only additions to the neighbourhood raising eyebrows. An unremarkable cottage in the woods between Netherfield and Meryton also has new tenants. One of them — a lively little girl with an adventurous spirit, a love of the outdoors, and a past shrouded in mystery — draws the notice of more than one local.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 15
Selena Lockhart comes with neither fortune nor connections, and she knows better than to expect society to give her a welcome — especially after her father gambled away his fortune, precipitating the family’s sudden fall from grace and Selena’s betrothed to break off the engagement. It therefore comes as no surprise that her new neighbor, Sir Lucius, treats her with disdain. Why should he look beyond appearances when her own promises so little?

It’s time for Georgiana to get married - but who will she choose? Darcy’s choice is Kettering Corby, marquess of Somersea, an old schoolfellow with a fair shot and an excellent seat, not to mention a fine title and a very fine fortune. Elizabeth favors Mr. Drake Midwinter, a local clergyman of neither rank nor fortune, possessing no recommendation but one: He loves Georgiana. More importantly, Georgiana loves him. As wealth and connections outweigh considerations of love and happiness, Elizabeth has to wonder: Has Fitzwilliam’s intractable pride returned?

Sophie Appersett is quite willing to marry outside of her class to ensure the survival of her family. But the darkly handsome Mr. Edward Sharpe is no run-of-the-mill London merchant. He's grim and silent. A man of little emotion - or perhaps no emotion at all. After two months of courtship, she's ready to put an end to things. But severing ties with her taciturn suitor isn't as straightforward as Sophie envisioned.

A Beguiling Love Story!

Publisher's Summary
A babe in a manger once saved the world. Can this one save a failing marriage?
Lydia Blakeburn, Baroness Lynham, wants nothing more than to present her husband with an heir, but after five years of marriage, she has all but given up on doing so. What started as a love match has since begun to sour, yet there is nothing Lydia can do to free Miles from a marriage she is certain he regrets. The future they had envisioned together is slipping farther and farther away.
Miles Blakeburn is at his wit's end. Not only has he failed to produce an heir to the family's ancient title, his wife has withdrawn from him entirely. The one thing in the world she wants, he has thus far been unable to give her: a child. He is a failure in every regard.
When they happen upon an abandoned baby at the Frost Fair, Miles simply can't resist the light he sees sparked in his wife's eyes as she holds the child. He agrees to take the foundling in until Christmastide is over, when they will find the babe a permanent home. But, for a couple who's been yearning for a baby for years, the infant can't help but expose all the feelings Lydia and Miles have long been trying to bury- feelings that have the power to bring them back together...or estrange them forever.
Note: This book deals with the topic of infertility, which can be triggering for some.
Five Christmas romances and the Frost Fair that started them all. This is the fifth book in the clean and sweet Regency romance Belles of Christmas: Frost Fair series. Although this second-chance romance is a stand-alone novel, the books are best enjoyed when listened to in order.

Great read
Great read about a tough subject. Well written and a lot of feeling to it. I myself have not had the problem in the book but I could imagine what I would have felt if I experienced what the main characters did. Highly recommend this book.

A Tender and Sweet Story
What a beautiful story about a topic and situation near and dear to my heart. I have many close family members and friends who struggle with infertility so I can understand and relate somewhat to Miles and Lydia's situation. But as an adopted child, I know the joy of being able to grow up in a family, like Thomas and Matthew will know. I especially love stories like this one because it makes my heart happy. Excellent writing and fabulous narrator.
