He ghosted her. For two years. While married to her. Aubrey Egerton, Viscount Madeley , has been living it up in London, pretending his wife doesn't exist because he blames her for destroying his one true love. Eleanor was forced to marry him, and he punished her by abandoning her in the countryside, making her the object of pity and gossip. And now? Now Aubrey's been thrown from his horse, and his furious parents have dumped him at his wife’s doorstep, severely injured. Now he's bedridden and she has to touch his privates daily for medical reasons. But here's the twist—she's leaving in 12 days and he just realized she's innocent of everything he blamed her for. Can he win her back? Let me tell you about the woes of wooing one’s wife... It's rather difficult to do when you cannot walk. Eleanor Egerton, Viscountess Madeley , has a choice: refuse him and let him suffer or play the dutiful wife to the man who humiliated her. She chooses duty… with a healthy dose of teasing. After all, how bad could it be to spend twelve awkward days tending to her husband's naked, bruised but still magnificent body? Can a scoundrel win back his wife's heart in twelve days of Christmas when he's literally at her mercy? Or will this be one holiday miracle too impossible, even for the season of second chances?
