A Christmas Spirit of Forgiveness

An endangered kitten and a mysterious lady in red combine to lure Anna Marshall away from her home and into the teeth of a ferocious storm. After rescuing the kitten, Anna walks on through the falling snow, searching for a man reported missing by the strange lady in red.

This peculiar evening turns alarming for Anna when an encounter with a stranger on horseback results in her being unceremoniously "rescued'" by the notorious Earl of Ashington, who was told by the lady in red that a female was missing in the storm.

Convinced he's saving Anna's life, Ashington insists on taking her home with him. Marooned on his country estate by the deepest snow anyone can remember, the two discover a mutual attraction that both realize can lead nowhere. After all, he's universally detested by his country neighbors and thus prefers life in London, while Anna avoids the city because she has reason to dislike her aristocratic relatives who reside there.

But Christmas is approaching and with help from the ghostly lady in red, the two of them discover that by accepting love and forgiveness, they can possess the peace and joy that the season promises.
