It's frosty December and six Cynster families come
together
at snowbound Casphairn Manor with members of their
households to celebrate the season in true Cynster
fashion—and where Cynsters gather, love is never far
behind.
The festive occasion brings together Daniel Crosbie, tutor
to Lucifer Cynster's sons, and Claire Meadows, widow and
governess to Gabriel Cynster's daughter. Daniel and Claire
have met before and the embers of an unexpected passion
smolder between them.
However, Claire, once bitten, twice shy, believes a second
marriage is not in her stars. Yet Daniel is determined.
He's
seen the kind of love the Cynsters share, and Claire is
the
lady with whom he dreams of sharing his life. Assisted by
a
bevy of Cynsters—innate matchmakers every one—Daniel
strives
to persuade Claire that trusting him with her hand and her
heart is her right path to happiness.
Claire is increasingly drawn to Daniel and despite her
misgivings, their relationship deepens. But then
catastrophe
strikes, and by winter's light, she learns that love—true
love—is worth any risk, any price.

Thank you so much for doing all of the legwork regarding all of the old customs, since they should be kept alive for future generations to cherish, and your book will definately be on my TBR list for this Fall!!

What interesting facts. I have been to Avebury and Stonehenge and always love to read more about the history and tales of Druids. I also love the cover and have added to my TBR list. (Leona Olson 3:20pm October 12, 2014)
