Publisher Description
From a New York Times bestselling author: Sparks fly in this definitely-not-falling-in-love workplace romance between a handsome drifter chasing adventure, and a small-town jeweler who would never leave her home behind…
Dashing Scot Jonathan MacLean never returns to the same town twice. The happy-go-lucky philanthropist seeks constant adventure… and is desperate to outrun his past. When a blizzard traps him in a tiny mountaintop village, he meets a woman who tempts him with dreams he'd long since abandoned: Home. Community. Love. But other people’s livelihoods depend on him leaving for good as soon as the snow melts.
Talented jeweler Angelica Parker has spent her life fighting for recognition. She's Black, she's a woman, and she will prove her creations are the equal to any artisan in England. With a contract anchoring her in place for seven years, she lands the project of a lifetime. There's no room for error—or distractions. Such as the charming drifter whose warm embrace and melting kisses have become more precious than jewels...
Welcome to a heartwarming series of fun Regency romps nestled in a picturesque snow-covered village. After all, nothing heats up a winter night quite like finding oneself in the arms of a duke!

Highly Enjoyable
Jonathan is a rolling stone, never visiting the same place twice and whilst gregarious never getting close to anyone. When a snow storm traps him in a little village, particularly one that celebrates Christmas on a grand scale (a season that he detests) he is horrified. Not wanting to do the Christmassy things laid on for visitors, he decides to make friends with the locals and comes across a beautiful jeweller. Angelica finds the chatty Scot a useful distraction in enabling her to work much faster than when her shop is quiet and empty. Both know their friendship is temporary and neither expect to fall in love. With their lifestyles so different how can they have a future?
English readers should note (if the author has not corrected the final copy) the use of hot biscuits rather than scones and red berries on mistletoe, lol.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from the author and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
