Mary Balogh / Mary Balogh Christmas Bride / A Christmas bride Wanting to please his father, Edgar Downes, a wealthy merchant, agrees to choose a noble bride for himself during the Christmas holidays. But having already chosen a suitable young lady, he suddenly finds himself seized with passion for a dowager of his own age. Helen, Lady Stapleton, hides her difficult past under her seductively cold, cynical appearance. Edgar brings his bride home for Christmas, but instead of courting her, he uses the magical power of the holiday to ask for forgiveness and make peace with Helen, as well as marry her.
