Lady Patience Post is about to lose the one thing she really wants for Christmas – the sweetest kitten in all the world. But unless she can figure out a way to save the little ball of fluff, her brother will toss the cat unceremoniously out into the snow. Luckily, a summons from the Duke of Danby arrives at the perfect time for a feline reprieve. Now if only the little Angora can behave himself in Yorkshire over the holidays so she can devise the perfect plan to keep him.

Doctor Matthew Campion was not part of the plan. But after he treats Patience for an infected kitten bite, she can't help falling completely in love with the handsome and thoughtful doctor. But will her family and the duke approve?
