Publisher Description
The end of the Napoleonic wars comes as a relief to Caspar Graysmark, but before he can settle into the comfortable life of an English lord he has a duty to the people of France. A treasure lies hidden in the heart of the forest, stolen gold that would save the lives of many who lost everything during the war. In his quest, Caspar stumbles across a hidden cottage in the woods, and a different sort of treasure altogether.
Scarlett, living with her sister and grandmother, belongs nowhere. Her father’s mistakes led to their exile from England and their banishment into the forest. The cold winter months have taken their toll on Scarlett’s spirits and her grandmother’s health. The Englishman who arrives at Scarlett’s door, looking more like a bear than a captain of the British army, reminds her of all she lost to the war.
With winter drawing to a close, Caspar must find the missing gold, but his quest to right the wrongs of war has changed. Can Scarlett let him rescue her, too?
The Captain and Miss Winter is based on the story of Snow White and Rose Red, as recorded by the Brothers Grimm. It is a sweet/clean romance novella, and is Book 2 in a series of Regency retellings.
Customer Reviews
Great characters and Story
The story started with Miss Winter's family sheltering a British Captain from the cold, wintry weather. As the day goes by, Caspar and Scarlett grew closer together and find the solutions to their problems.
This is a nice love story with such great characters. Scarlett's family were noble, and had great fortitude. They did not complain though they lived a very simple life from what they were accustomed to. Scarlett was also caring/thoughtful and levelheaded. Captain Caspar, though in enemy territory, was generous and kind to think about the French affected by the war.
This was fascinating love story. Highly recommend reading this.

Snow White Reimagined
Britton is fast becoming a favorite. This was such a short and sweet novella. I very much enjoyed the small cast of characters.
It is a novella (I was able to listen to the audiobook in less than 4 hours) so I imagine it to be a quick read. The narrator did a great job.
