A Story by Bree Wolf
Some call it meddling—she calls it making things right. Lady Edith Weston doesn’t believe love should come second to duty. So when her closest friend, Lady Adele, is set to marry a man she doesn’t love—simply to please her family—Edith refuses to accept it. That Christmas, she sees something unexpected: a quiet glance, a gentle moment, a spark between Adele and a visiting northern gentleman. Edith recognizes it as love beginning. And she’ll do everything she can to help it grow.
He came for the holidays—and met a young lady who upends all his plans. Jasper Beaumont, Earl of Whickerton, has one year to fulfill a promise to his late father: marry, and secure the future of the family line. But the season is nearly over, and no match has felt right. Until he arrives at Cumberton Castle and meets Lady Edith—fiercely loyal, delightfully outspoken, and utterly unlike anyone he expected.
This isn’t just a love story''it’s the beginning of a legacy. As Edith orchestrates a holiday scheme in the name of love, something unexpected happens: her own heart begins to hope. And in choosing happiness over duty, Edith and Jasper sow the seeds of a family legacy''one that will echo through generations and prove that true love is always worth fighting for.
It all began with a Christmas, a conviction, and a young woman brave enough to choose joy.
If you need a reminder that love doesn’t always arrive boldly—but it does arrive—this story understands.
