The Snowbound Seamstress

On the frozen streets of London, where breath hangs like mist and frost clings to every window, Grace Tinsley fights to keep herself and the girls she shelters alive. She stitches gowns by candlelight, her fingers numb from cold, dreaming of a life beyond the winter that never seems to end. But one bitter night changes everything. Betrayed, assaulted, and cast out as “ruined,” Grace is forced into the icy darkness with nowhere to go and no one left to trust.
Until a figure emerges through the falling snow.
Nathaniel Hartwell, a former soldier accustomed to winter’s cruelty, finds Grace shivering beneath a tree—broken, terrified, and on the brink of collapse. Lifting her into his arms, he carries her into warmth and safety, igniting a fragile bond neither of them expects. As the winter deepens, so does their quiet connection, growing in the flicker of firelight and the hush of snow at the windows.
But when Grace discovers the secret sacrifice Nathaniel made to protect her, pride and independence drive her back into the cold. Building a dressmaking shop of her own, she rises from ruin with a strength that astonishes even herself. Now wanted by Mayfair’s finest, she must decide whether to stand alone—or return to the man who crossed a winter city to save her life.
A sweeping Victorian romance of frost and fire, danger and devotion, where love is the warmest light in a winter without mercy.
