The Christmas Bargain

Iris Newgate's grandfather left behind many things when he died, including a condition in his will stating that Iris must marry by Christmas Day or be forced to wed the most dastardly rake in London. Lord James Whitman is well aware of what others say about him - he's heard his name whispered behind closed doors. But after that unearned reputation causes Iris to decline his marriage proposal, he's determined to show her the truth and win her love. Now Iris must decide whether to trust the London gossips or the tune of her own heart.
