A Christmas Promise

Who Can Resist The Gift of True Love?

Headstrong Lady Juliana Linford hadn't pictured herself widowed, penniless, and alone in India when she impulsively eloped with an Army colonel five years ago. But she believed life on her own terms was far preferable to succumbing to her domineering father's wishes -- and marrying the man of his choice, Lord Ian Pierce, who though dashingly handsome, was as overbearing as her father. Then Ian arrives in India with a surprisingly tempting request.

If Ian failed to convince Juliana of his love once, he's determined to do so now. He's not surprised when she resists his proposal of marriage, but takes heart when she agrees to spend each day of the journey home getting to know him. If Juliana can honestly say that she doesn't care for him by Christmas Day, he will withdraw his suit. Perhaps the magic of the Christmas season will persuade her that their love will be something to celebrate...every day of the years to come
