A Winter’s Earl: A Regency Christmas Romance

Greene’s (The Vicar and the Rake) new M/M Christmas regency romance starts 16 years after Richard, Viscount Northill, was forced to leave England after being outed as a gay man. Now the very man who originally betrayed Richard to the press is begging for his help. Despite his misgivings, Richard leaves the warmth of Italy for wintry Scotland to aid his onetime lover, Sherborne Clarke. Sherborne is a former rake and a depressed poet who’s languishing in the halls of Scottish castle until the day a baby is left on his doorstep. Desperate for a solution to his baby problem, Sherborne begs Richard to take the child to a cousin in London, but Richard is naturally mistrustful. The two spar with words and with actual swords; both are certain they’ll never cross paths again. Then snowstorms, a travelling troupe of actors, and other obstacles interrupt their travel plans, leaving plenty of time for old passions to simmer and eventually erupt.
