Everyone knows that an Effington always gets her way ...
but this time it's not going to be easy!
Lady Elizabeth Effington simply could not suitably feel
the joy of the Christmas season. Ten years had passed
since she had boldly declared her love for Sir Nicholas
Collingsworth. He rebuffed her and set out to seek his
fortunes, while Elizabeth was left a woman scorned. Now,
she discovers in horror that the inheritance she's managed
beautifully was never hers to control. No, power over her
finances lay in the hands of the last man she ever wants
to see again: Nicholas!
But running Elizabeth's life isn't part of Nick's plans.
He's intrigued when he discovers that the frivolous and
flighty girl he once knew has turned into a beautiful and
capable woman. Nick vows to woo -- and win -- her, and
while she seems unmoved by his fervent seduction, he
swears he will not rest until she accepts that most
precious gift of all -- the gift of love.
