Lady in Ruby by Elizabeth Cole

Do you want to build a nobleman?

Once upon a December, best friends Caroline and Estelle brave the cold English winter and build a snowman in the woods. Caroline playfully shapes him into her ideal suitor, narrating all the qualities a man would require to catch her attention. Later that day, a stranger knocks on the door: Lord Snowdon, a dashing gentleman dressed in blue and white, bearing an invitation to the family’s holiday festivities. The next day, Caroline walks back to where she built her snowman…only to discover that it’s gone!

Is it Christmas magic at work, or is something less innocent going on? As guests gather for dinners, parties, and more, Caroline senses that Lord Snowdon is not exactly what he seems, and more than one guest has a hidden agenda. When vital documents are stolen from the house, it’s crystal clear that someone is up to no good. Stealing kisses under the mistletoe is one thing, stealing government secrets is quite another! If it’s Snowdon, it means a cold end to her Christmas wishes. Can Caroline uncover the plot threatening to ruin the holiday joy and keep her heart from breaking?
