Rosamund is a widow, having been married for eight years to a much older husband who loved her and whom she loved and her brother is constantly nagging her to remarry. Lady Rosamund Hunter is journeying from her home in Lincolnshire to spend some time with her brother and his family before they all head off to a house-party being held by his father-in-law, the Marquess of Gilmore, at which an announcement will be made confirming the betrothal of Rosamund’s niece to the Earl of Wetherby. While this 1991 title from Mary Balogh isn’t set at Christmas, it IS set in the winter, which, in my book, qualifies it as a suitable book to read at this time of year!
