‘I wanted you more than life itself, Thomas Fairfax … but you didn’t come back.’

Sir Thomas Fairfax’s heart is as frozen as the wintry grounds of the Knightswood estate. Since his return from war sixteen years ago, his sole purpose has been to ensure respectable matches for his wayward younger siblings. But as the snow starts to fall, a single figure arrives on horseback that he never expected to see again: Lady Arabella Farrington.

From the moment the enigmatic Arabella arrives, it is clear that she and Thomas share a mysterious history. Between sledging, parlour games, and the promise of the upcoming Knightswood Twelfth Night Ball, Thomas must decide if Arabella’s return is a cruel reminder of everything he lost, or a Christmas miracle neither of them dared wish for…

Each book in the Fairfax Sisters series can be read as a standalone.
