Publisher's Synopsis
On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me... Desperately trying to avoid an arranged marriage to a cruel lord, an heiress takes on Minnie Gold's identity to marry a man she hopes will be kind. He has to be better than what her parents have planned. Hugh Montgomery is proud of the life he's built in Noelle, and he's determined to help Noelle survive- even if it means taking on a mail-order bride. Burned by love, he knows marriage is about commitment and companionship, and is looking forward to sharing his life with someone who doesn't expect his heart. However, when a woman from Hugh's past arrives, she reveals secrets that Hugh and Minnie were desperate to hide. Hugh can't marry Minnie, knowing her true identity, but he also can't let her return home. As Hugh and Minnie fight to save their respective futures, will the growing affection between them ruin everything? Or can they find a way to build a future together?
