Books like A matchmaker's Christmas by Donna Simpson
When Beatrice Copland, a kind and discreet companion to the austere Lady Bournaud, receives an invitation to the estate’s Christmas gathering, she finds herself drawn into a web of old promises and fresh hopes. Two decades after a deceitful act tied her to a man whose life was shattered and whose wife died, Beatrice lives a quiet, penitent life. Yet her world shifts when Sir David Chappell, a widower haunted by his past, arrives to escape London and to find solace in Yorkshire. Captivated by Beatrice’s gentle spirit, David senses a familiar connection, but their budding romance threatens to expose a secret that could destroy everything. Lady Bournaud, intent on creating matches and making amends, observes quietly, hoping a Christmas miracle and Beatrice’s conscience will guide the heart toward healing.
