A Mistletoe Match for the Earl — Eva Shepherd

The start of a lively new spicy Victorian trilogy, Wayward Wallflowers, from Eva Shepherd  

Snowed in 

With the new Earl… 

After a disastrous Season, Alice has given up on marriage for herself, but not for her friends. This Christmas, she'll matchmake her friend with a neighboring Earl. Only when Alice calls upon him, she finds James a changed man -- scarred, brooding, grumpy! And now she's snowed in with him…

James Marlowe, the new Earl of Thornwood, has returned to take possession of his neglected Lake District estate and heal his broken heart. He has no need of Alice's irritating Christmas cheer. But when an awkward mistletoe kiss turns passionate, the ice begins to melt around his frostbitten soul…
