'Twas the Rogue Before Christmas (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781966087496)

Lenora Audsley has spent years trying to live up to her brother's expectations and uphold her family's fragile position in Polite Society. She certainly didn't plan to foil a robbery, much less become entangled with a dangerously attractive stranger-especially not a penniless sea captain wholly unsuited to her world. But ever since their scandalous kiss, where her wits seemed to have abandoned her, Lenora can't stop imagining what might have been... or what still could be.

Captain Jason Steele has every reason to leave England behind. Haunted by secrets, bound by duty, and too poor to offer any woman a future, he never should have rescued the fiery-haired sister of an earl-let alone kissed her. But Lenora's intelligence and spirit stir something in him he thought long buried. Now, with her image burned into his memory and her brother threatening ruin, Jason's heart wars with his conscience. He was never meant for a life of privilege, but Lenora tempts him to risk everything.

As the magic of Christmas weaves through snow-dusted nights, stolen moments become scandalous encounters. Jason and Lenora must choose whether to surrender to a love that defies class, expectation, and the ticking clock of a ship ready to sail-or walk away from the only future worth having.
