A Snowman Wish for Lady Samantha

A desperate debutante... It's all too much. At least that is how Lady Samantha feels as she slips out into the snow to build a snowman. With her first season bearing down on her, she'd give anything to have her mother's guidance one last time. But certainly, it isn't that prayer that sends the Marquess of Longley calling at that precise moment. Nor is it her wish that an avalanche of snow fall on the man's stiff and serious head. But since he's arrived, she might as well use him to help practice her charms before the official season begins. What's the harm in that? A staunch marquess... She's as vapid as she is beautiful. That's Gavin's official assessment of Lady Samantha. But even he can't deny he's tempted. From the clear blue of her eyes to the pure smile she flashes his way, he can't help but wish he was the sort of man who could just marry the woman he wanted instead of worrying about what was best for his marquessate. Still, the moment he holds her in his arms during his first dance in years, he has to wonder… What would it be like to follow his heart? And as he pictures a future where he's happy for the first time in what seems like forever, he has to ask himself. Should he pursue the woman that is slipping past his defenses or make the choice he knows is right? Because it can't be possible that Lady Samantha is both. Can it?
