After her father’s death, Esperanza discovers her inheritance rests in the hands of an elusive Spanish count. Desperate for money, she leaves a war torn Puerto Rico to claim what is hers. But when she arrives in Spain on Christmas Day, she’s given an impossible condition: she must marry by her twenty-first birthday, which falls on Three Kings Day, or become a nun. With only twelve days to find a husband, Esperanza is urged by her mother to charm the count. In her efforts to seduce him, she works as his secretary. Esperanza’s plans are complicated when he hires a
matchmaker, forcing her to choose between following her heart or securing a practical match.

With his mother gone to Barcelona and no one to manage the estate, Don Pedro is under pressure to either hire a capable housekeeper or marry his mother’s choice for a bride. Determined to avoid an unwanted match, he hires a matchmaker. He is caught off guard when a
beautiful sugar heiress arrives at his doorstep… and somehow ends up in his care.

Can he find a suitable bride without falling for his spirited new secretary? Or will the matchmaker arrange a match before time runs out and she marries someone else?

Twelve Days to Win a Count is a Christmas historical romance brimming with wit, sensual tension, and heart—perfect for readers who crave holiday romance with high stakes, found family warmth, and a Latina heroine who refuses to choose between love and independence. Expect forced proximity, marriage-of-convenience twists, secretary/nobleman sizzle, and a race-against-time ending that delivers all the cozy wonder of the season.
