Benjamin Ward, the Duke of Silkridge is in a village he thought he would never return to for the reading of his maternal grandfather's will. His one goal is to get back the portrait locket containing the last picture painted of his mother.
His grandfather had transformed the village of Cressmouth into Christmas creating a thriving village for the residence. One of the residence, Noelle Pratchett, once fell in love with Benjamin. When he returns, Noelle knows she must protect her heart because a duke will not marry an orphan. Due to a request in his grandfather's will, Benjamin must stay in Christmas longer than he wanted to and as Noelle assists him in his quest, he slowly realizes that she is the one woman he loves. Can Benjamin win Noelle's trust and heart back with Christmas magic?
I enjoyed reading this book. I liked the characters and their banter. The book was romantic and yet at the same time, there was a lot of humor. I felt bad for Benjamin and his relationship with his grandfather. Noelle was his perfect heroine. She helped Benjamin achieve the peace he was seeking.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you!
