As the entire Malory family gathers at Haverston to celebrate the season, a mysterious present arrives anonymously. The gift is an old journal -- a tender and tempestuous account of the love affair between the second Marquis, Christopher Malory, and a dark gypsy beauty named Anastasia, who seeks a love match with a non-gypsy in order to save herself from a prearranged marriage to a brute. Though the dashing English lord Anastasia sets her sight upon burns for the exquisite, exotic miss, Christopher could never consent to wed such a lowborn lady. But miracles have been known to happen in this season of peace and giving and love, as two extraordinary people seperated by cicumstance of birth begin a passionate dance of will and wiles. And in the miraculous blossoming of a glorious romance at a long ago Christmastime, there are wise and well-learned lessons that will enrich the hearts of the Malory descendants -- and, indeed, of everyone who has ever dreamed.

Für Judith Malory und ihre Cousine Jacqueline ist es an der Zeit, einen Ehemann zu finden. Begleitet von Jacquelines Vater machen sie sich auf die lange Schiffsreise nach Connecticut. Wobei Judith ganz sicher nicht der Sinn nach einem Mann fürs Leben steht - eher nach ein wenig Abwechslung. Der attraktive Schiffsarbeiter Nathan kommt ihr da gerade recht. Als sie sein dunkles Geheimnis entdeckt, glaubt sie, ihn in der Hand zu haben. Wider Willen lässt sich Nathan auf ein Katz-und-Maus-Spiel mit der leichtsinnigen Judith ein. Dann aber geraten die Malorys in höchste Gefahr. Wird der mutige Nathan die Cousinen retten? Und wird Judith ihrem Herzen folgen, das vielleicht doch für Nathan schlägt?
