Mary Beckwith lives in a magnificent English castle during the twilight years of the gilded age. With the help of an American millionaire, she has succeeded in renovating her beloved Whitefriars castle into a splendid estate just in time for Christmas.
From across the ocean, millionaire Everett Wooten has spent a fortune propping up Whitefriars to add modern conveniences and rebuild crumbling old walls. Even though he’s never met Mary, they have enjoyed a lively business correspondence over the nine years they have been working toward a renovation. Now he has finally come to see Mary and the castle in person, but nothing is as he was led to believe.
Mary and Everett try to find a way forward, but red-blooded American entrepreneurship doesn’t always mingle with blue-blooded English tradition. Can a Manhattan business tycoon and an English lady come to an accord, or will their joint venture in Whitefriars result in heartbreak for them both?
You know that feeling like your forgetting something?? Yea every time I put this down cause I had to I felt like I was forgetting to do something! I just wanted to sit there and keep reading this story!
It was sooo nice to see Lucy and Colin, and Nick and Rosalind again, and it was great to meet Mary, and of course meet Everett Wooten
I loved learning about the history of Whitefriars!! And the search for the recipe was a fun little mystery!
I loved watching Everett soften and not be so stuffy!
This was a perfect Christmas story and I’ll probably end up reading it again very soon!
