Trapped in a gilded cage, Seraphina’s dreams of love seemed distant as her uncle and aunt forced her into an arranged marriage to secure a huge amount of money. A chance encounter with Gabriel Lockwood seems to be her only opportunity as he offers both his “heart and hand” in her rescue. But darkness can never drive out darkness…only light can! Will Gabriel and Seraphina find their way to the light during Christmas?
Miss Seraphina Weston, trapped in servitude under the vigilant gaze of her deceitful uncle and his cunning wife, cherishes memories of Christmases once shared with her departed parents. A moment of defiance brings forth a chilling proposition: a forced betrothal to Lord Maxwell Harcourt, a man infamous for his tarnished reputation. However, an invitation to a grand Christmas house party at the prestigious Wrentwood estate hints at unforeseen delights.
Gabriel Lockwood, the Marquess of Locksley, grapples with the burdensome expectations of his overbearing father. An undiscovered poet at heart, Gabriel finds solace in his passionate verses. But his life takes an unexpected turn upon crossing paths with the luminous Seraphina. Their interactions, from hushed conversations to stolen glances in opulent ballrooms, magnetically draw him to the mysterious woman who, much like him, conceals her true self behind a mask.
As the Wrentwood estate is blanketed in winter’s embrace, destiny intertwines Seraphina and Gabriel’s fates. Yet, as the hourglass drains towards Seraphina’s impending union with Lord Maxwell, will they muster the courage to defy societal constraints and grasp a love that could redefine their futures?
*In a wintry Christmas setting, follow the magnetic pull between two hearts as they defy norms, unravel mysteries, and embrace a love that transcends traditions. Amidst festive cheer and snow-kissed landscapes, their connection deepens, proving that genuine affection knows no bounds, painting a tale of passion and holiday enchantment in approximately 60,000 magical words.
