This year for Christmas you are Marrying a stranger.
Miss Georgiana Hartley is beautiful and bold, but what everyone mistakes for confidence is really a mask hiding a deep-seated loneliness, one only daring adventures can temporarily alleviate. When her recklessness lands her in scandal and a forced marriage, she’s determined to view it as a chance for a fresh start and a sense of belonging. That is, until she realizes the threat of rejection from the husband she’s falling in love with is an even lonelier fate.
Mr. Fitzwilliam Jennings knows he’s a little different, but he has his Italian translations and is content with his solitary life. Until a bare-breasted beauty disrupts the comfort of his study. When he accidentally compromises her, he has no words—literally. Fitz is awkward and anxious on a normal day, but it rises to near painful levels with his beautiful, new wife, especially when this odd, warm feeling fills his chest every time she’s around. He has no idea what that could mean—probably just indigestion.
It’s a marriage destined for disaster. Accidental insults are thrown. Mishaps in the bedroom abound. But in small moments of closeness, love glimmers like freshly fallen snow. The only problem? The harder Fitz strives to be the man Georgiana desires, the bigger he blunders.
