Synopsis

The enchanting spirit of Christmastide might be exactly what they need to mend their hearts and discover a second chance at love.

Mr. James Bailey appears to possess all one could desire: wealth, a loving family, and a generous spirit. As the chilling winds of the Twelve Days of Christmastide sweep in, James embarks on a mission to aid the poor in his community with food and clothing amidst the harshest winter they have seen in his lifetime.

Miss Eleanor Dove left Emerald Falls two years previously due to a misunderstanding between herself and James Bailey. Now engaged to the Count of Montefeltro, she believes her heart is safe. But upon returning to Emerald Falls, she finds her memories tethered to the past and her heart immovably bound to her first and only love.

On the cusp of Twelfth Night, James discovers he has been swindled. His accounts have a deficit of eight thousand pounds, and he is facing debtor’s prison. With no apparent solution, fate intervenes, and James is compelled to confront the true essence of his existence and the profound impact of his deeds.

In a tale woven with love, loss, and redemption, Christmastide in Emerald Falls unfolds as a captivating exploration of the human spirit, reminding us that sometimes, the greatest riches lie not in material wealth, but in the depth and joy of our connections and the beauty of a life well-lived.

Christmastide in Emerald Falls is a clean & wholesome Regency romance.
