When Burthred comes courting on Christmas Eve, Meg rejects
his advances. She has her heart set on becoming a nun and insists that he call
her Christina, the spiritual name she has chosen for herself. She tries to make
him swear on her box of holy relics that he will not pursue her, but he
carefully words his oath to allow him to stay in her candlelit chamber and try
to change her mind.
What Meg does not confess is that her reliquary box holds a
secret.
Burthred needs a wife, and no one will satisfy him except
Meg. He swore on his father’s deathbed that he would marry her. But Burthred
has a secret, too. When they come together before the Yule fire, their shared
revelations will either join their hearts together or tear them apart.

This is my kind of cover. I might have to go add this one to my wish list. Sounds great!
