Winter Rogue (Rogues & Gentlemen #17.8)

A Rogues and Gentlemen Christmas Novel....
A Marriage of Convenience. A Crumbling Manor. A Christmas to Change Everything.

Justin Langley, the infamous Earl of Rutherford, retreats to his once-glorious country estate to lick his wounds in private after a scandal leaves him ostracised by society. With his ancestral home in a state of disrepair and his prospects bleak, Justin faces a lonely Christmas—until a desperate heiress arrives on his doorstep.

Miss Beatrice Huntingdon, fleeing her uncle’s schemes and a forced marriage, proposes a marriage of convenience to the notorious earl. With her fortune at stake and nowhere else to turn, Bea is determined to take control of her own fate—even if it means wedding a man with a reputation as ruined as his home.

Bound by necessity, Justin and Bea agree to a marriage in name only. Yet, as the festive season unfolds, Bea falls in love with the rambling old house and resolves to restore it to its former glory. Amidst snowy countryside, crackling fires, and under the spell woven by the yuletide season, the earl finds himself captivated by his new wife’s spirit and determination.

Can a marriage born of desperation blossom into true love? Will the magic of Christmas—and a shared dream of home—bring two wounded hearts together?

Perfect for readers who adore Regency romance, Christmas love stories, marriage of convenience, country house settings, scandalous earls, runaway heiresses, and heartwarming holiday happily-ever-afters.
