Wishes in Winter by Scarlett Scott
Lady Lydia Brownlow’s parents have given her an ultimatum. She must settle upon a husband or face a future life of drudgery as a companion. Dreading either fate, Lydia attends a Christmas country house party to settle upon a match. But much to her dismay, her brother’s rakish best friend is also in attendance. The Duke of Warwick is the one man she doesn’t dare trust, and the only one she can’t resist.
Alistair, the Duke of Warwick, has two problems. The debt his father left behind is about to swallow him whole, and the woman he wants to marry has been avoiding him. In an effort to prove his sincerity and win her hand, he inveigles an invitation to the same house party where she will choose a husband.
However, Lady Lydia isn’t about to succumb to his practiced seductions, and she leads him on a merry chase. When he wins her hand at last, deception tears them apart. Can Alistair prove his love and claim his duchess’s heart for good?

Another excellent book in the Wicked Winters series. The passion, romance, chemistry, drama and even humor were all well interwoven into the story. The Heroine was quite likeable, as was the Hero. He was funny, kind, gentle, determined...albeit a bit dumb. He could, and should, have been completely honest with the Heroine from the beginning but, since it's a novel, of course he withheld vital information that was devastating. The Heroine's brother was a bit of a jerk though. I wanted to slug him in the eye. I'm sure he does better in his own book, but how he treated his sister and new brother-in-law in this one almost, not quite but almost, caused me to not want to read his story. With all that said, this is, so far, my second favorite book of the series, and it garners my "Keeper for the Shelves" worthy award.
