A Christmas reunion and a second chance at romance

Set within the Ravenswood series, Mary Balogh’s Regency romance brings Stephanie Ware face to face with Bertrand Lamarr, her brother’s best friend, at a Christmas family gathering. Years earlier, she turned down his invitation to dance, and guilt has made the prospect of seeing him again a source of dread. Bertrand, meanwhile, has long admired her and still hopes to share the waltz she once refused. The story builds its central relationship around that missed dance, the misunderstandings it left behind, and the possibility of facing old fears together.

Book overview

A single waltz changed everything. But now they must try to preserve that magic for a lifetime in New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh's new book in the Ravenswood series.

The youngest Ware daughter, Stephanie, has always harbored secret passion for the best friend of her brother. In her eyes Bertrand Lamarr, Viscount Watley, is perfect. For many years she thought of herself as quite the opposite. When he surprised her by asking her to save a waltz for him, she panicked--and refused him in the unkindest words.

Stephanie's guilt over her behavior is such that she now dreads seeing him, as she inevitably must, at the Christmas family reunion she is attending. She wants to hide from him, but what she doesn't know is that Bertrand has always admired her from afar and is determined to overcome her apparent dislike of him and win his waltz. For he believes there is magic between them, and they will discover it can conquer all their regrets and fears if they but give themselves a chance.
