Christmas and the Vicar's Daughter Grace Austen

Lord Lewis Barrington, son of the Earl of Rostendom and next in line to inherit, faces increasing expectations to make a suitable match in order to produce an heir. But the only woman to catch his interest is a most unsuitable vicar's daughter, Esther Mullens. Esther has no liking for the rules of society or the aristocracy, but she cannot deny that she feels drawn to one member of the ton. However, she often finds herself at odds with Lewis Barrington, due to the difference in their stations. As Christmas approaches, Esther is determined to help the less fortunate of London. Though she tries to convince members of the peerage to donate money to aid in her causes, she meets with failure. Lewis offers her well-meaning advice, but her mind is closed to his words. When she retires to the country and a winter snowstorm traps the two of them-along with some of the impoverished children she's trying to help-Esther discovers something surprising. Perhaps the wonder and magic of Christmas will bring Esther all the desires of her heart after all.
