Hell hath no fury like a jilted bride—especially at Christmas.
A year after Jonathan Stanhope, the Duke of Rathborne, left Lady Claire Chase at the altar, her dolt of a brother invites him to their Christmas house party. Claire is livid—until she realizes she’s found the perfect opportunity for revenge…
A year after Jonathan made the biggest mistake of his life, he’s reunited with his former fiancée at Christmas. From the moment he enters her home of Greystone Castle, Claire does all she can to turn his holiday into a nightmare. But no matter what she throws at him, he’s not giving up on her this time…
