On Christmas Eve, Lady Isabella Hartley discovers a devastating truth about her groom—and flees the altar rather than marry a man who ruined an innocent young woman. With nowhere else to turn, she disguises herself as a humble teacher and takes refuge at a London charity school, hoping to disappear until the scandal dies down.
Reginald Winterbourne, the new Earl of Winterbourne, is fighting to restore his family's tarnished reputation after his twin brother's notorious misdeeds. Determined to prove himself different from the rake everyone remembers, he dedicates himself to charitable works—including organizing Christmas festivities for the city's most forgotten children.
Working side by side through the Twelve Days of Christmas, Isabella and Reginald discover an unexpected kinship. He sees past her disguise to the compassionate woman beneath. She sees past his title to the grieving, honorable man struggling under the weight of another's sins. But Isabella's deception grows heavier with each passing day, and when the truth inevitably surfaces, will their fragile connection survive?
A heartwarming tale of second chances, found family, and discovering that sometimes the bravest choice is to follow your heart—even when Society says otherwise.
