He’s waited silently. This Christmas, he steps forward. Gilbert Stirling, Earl of Errington, has admired Elaine for years—her spirit, her resilience, her elegance. But duty, timing, and decorum kept him from reaching out. Until now. With their children scheming and snowflakes falling, fate cracks open a door. Gilbert takes the risk—and this time, he won’t let silence win.
Love doesn’t belong to youth. It belongs to those brave enough to believe. As the days grow colder and their quiet connection warms, Elaine faces the question she never let herself ask: is it too late for love? Or was it simply waiting for her to be ready? Because hearts don’t age. They wait. And her story… might be just beginning.
She thought her time had passed. He knows her moment is now.
❄️ If you’ve ever wondered if love has an expiration date—and dared to believe your heart might still be seen… this story is yours.
Each love story in this series can be read as a stand-alone. However, most readers prefer to read them in order.
