The Wintersbride — Sara Seale

Adam Chantry no longer particularly desired a wife, but he needed a mistress for his home and a companion for his child. Miranda was young and alone in the world, and she wanted a home and protection, so she naively agreed to his proposal of marriage - a marriage which must remain a business arrangement. But Wintersbride, Adam's lonely house on the moors, held a life of its own, she was to discover - and how could any man or woman keep to such a dispassionate bargain without breaking the rules?

Hero: Adam Chantry
Heroine: Miranda Clare
