A reckless lady. A brooding lord. And one Christmas that could change everything.

Lord Gabriel Lockhart wants nothing to do with Miss Madeline Spencer—the spirited girl he once adored has become a woman he barely recognizes. Calculating, and aloof, Maddie's beauty is now just a façade. But when he finds her in the poorest corners of London, fighting for forgotten children, Gabe realizes how wrong he's been—and how deeply he still cares.

Madeline has no patience for arrogant lords or their interference. She's kept her secret work hidden for good reason, and she won't let Gabriel stop her, no matter how his presence stirs her heart. Yet beneath the mistletoe, old feelings rekindle, and danger draws near.

As Christmas arrives in London, Gabe must protect the woman he never stopped loving... even if winning her heart means risking everything.
