I'm delighted with the winter feel, as the story takes place mostly in the Scottish countryside around the winter solstice. Here's a little taster from the blurb.
In Edinburgh, December 1816,
young widow Lady Lenora Fitzallan accepts an invitation to the country estate
of Edward Montgomery, the man she once thought to marry eighteen years
previously. Until he left without explanation. Accompanied by her godmother, Lady
Pettigrew, Lenora forms a friendship with Edward’s young niece and ward,
Annabelle, who has a propensity for getting into scrapes and falling in love
with the wrong man.
In the days leading up to
the Masquerade Ball on the Winter Solstice, another guest arrives. Mr
Henderson has a particular reason for meeting Annabelle, who distrusts him on
sight. Meanwhile, Lenora struggles with her rekindled feelings for Edward,
while thinking of Robert Masters, the sophisticated man who hopes to marry her
when he returns from abroad. As past secrets begin to unfold, Annabelle is
rescued from harm, and a dashing, costumed stranger arrives at the Ball.
Once the past is revealed
and the real villain unmasked, Lenora must decide where and with whom her
future now lies.
