Synopsis: All Margaret Campbell wants for Christmas is a safe journey home. When her plans for a festive holiday with her family in Stirling crumble beneath the weight of her brother's bitterness, the young schoolteacher wants nothing more than to return to the students she loves and the town house she calls home.

Then an unexpected detour places her in the path of Gordon Shaw, a handsome newspaperman from Glasgow, who struggles under a burden of remorse and shame.

When the secret of their shared history is revealed, will it leave them tangled in a knot of regret? Or might their past hold the threads that bind their future together?

Review: A question came up in my book club this week about reading seasonal books in the "correct" season. A good author and a good story can transport me so it doesn't matter that it's July - I was transported to December 1894 in Victorian England.

Totally predictable, but sweet, this was a fast, enjoyable story.
