Blurb:
Napoleon’s war still rages on the Continent, and Lieutenant Christmas Astley-Milne must return to sea. However, Chris is tormented that Emma Clavering, the woman he’s always loved, might marry another while he’s gone. There’s nothing for it but for him to propose before he leaves.
Emma accepts without hesitation. But as months turn into years, and nothing more is heard of Chris, must she also accept that he’s dead, or is he being held captive? The only way she can keep hope alive is to help bring prisoners of war back to England as part of a smuggling operation she runs with her cousin. It’s her dearest wish that Chris, wherever he is, is being treated well, and he, too, will eventually be returned safe and sound.
Finally, after five long years, her steadfastness is rewarded when Chris comes home just in time for Christmas. But he is not the same man who left her to fight the French. War has changed him, and he is wounded inside and out. Will anything, save a Yuletide miracle, be enough to thaw his heart?

My Review - 5 of 5 stars -
This was a quick read. Emma loved Chris and waited seven years for his return. Chris experienced a lot of tragedy in those years. Their love was strong enough to heal both. I loved Emma's need to help with war efforts in her own way, her kindness, and her resilience from her own tragic events. Chris had more to overcome, but his light was Emma. There were some teary moments for me, and I did not want to stop reading. I look forward to the next in this series.
This is my unsolicited review.
