Pierce Waverly, the rakehell Earl of Devonmont, is annoyed when he arrives at his country estate to learn that his estranged mother is not at death’s door, as he’d been led to believe by a letter from his mother’s new companion. Pierce has no intention of staying, especially not for the holidays. But vicar’s widow Camilla Stuart is determined to bring Pierce and his mother together—even if it means giving in to his initially outrageous demands of nightly “entertainments.” A caring heroine determined to do the right thing and an emotionally wounded hero unable to forgive struggle to learn the truth in this complex story that juxtaposes the warmth of the holiday season with a dark undercurrent of closely guarded secrets, impossible choices, and deep regret.
VERDICT Sharply witty, deliciously sexy, and infinitely endearing, this holiday gem strikes an emotional chord that will resonate with fans long after the book has been closed. Jeffries’s first hardcover release, it serves as a bridge between her recent “Hellions of Halstead Hall” quintet and a new series that is slated to begin next spring. Jeffries (A Lady Never Surrenders) lives in North Carolina.
