He is the bastard son of an earl...
Cornell Reed was raised as a commoner by his mother, a maid who had been dismissed from service after it was discovered she was carrying an illegitimate child. Because of his modest upbringing, Cornell had never cared to be recognized by his father, Lord Haverton. He is content with his simple life as a cordwainer in London, a skill he'd learned during his years as a sea-faring naval captain. It isn't until he advertises for an apprentice for the busy Christmas season, does Cornell realize what he's been missing.
She is a poor, Irish immigrant...
Miss Pleasant Hill moved to London after the death of her cobbler father in Ireland. When she isn't trying to help raise her three, younger siblings, or toiling as a washerwoman, she assists her ailing stepmother as a seamstress. She always dreamed of something more, but soon realized it was pointless to wish upon stars. However, when she sees the sign in the shopkeeper's window, she feels it's the answer to her long-awaited prayers. Pleasant feels that this year, she can finally make a difference and give her family the holiday they had always been denied.
But is a Christmas miracle even possible?
