About this ebook
When a holiday blizzard brings together a pair of reluctant lovers, the result threatens their reputations … and may cost them their hearts.
Feisty and independent American heiress Violet Howard swears she'll never wed a crusty British aristocrat. Will, the Earl of Merlton, is determined to salvage his family's fortune without succumbing to a marriage of convenience.
But when a snowstorm leaves Violet and Will stranded and alone, their sudden chemistry will challenge good intentions. Seized by a desire that burns through the night, they'll toss reservations aside in favor of the heat found in each other's arms.
Will their passion survive the storm? Will they realize they've found a love to last them through all seasons?

Reviews for An Heiress for All Seasons
18 ratings5 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked this - the heroine is not truly plain, just believes herself to be. She thinks the only reason a man like the hero would want her is her dowry. I would have preferred a full-length novel to draw out the delicious angst! (3.5 stars)
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Some novellas would be improved given more pages, but I don't think this is one of them. It's pretty simple. But, I was entertained for a bit, so it serves its purpose. 2.5 stars rounded up.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A cute novella for the holidays and a fast read. The story is fairly predictable and the hero, Will, and heroine, Violet, are stereotypical characters, a broke English lord and an American heiress. It all feels a little rushed.If this had been fleshed out into a full novel, I think I would have liked it more. Still, it was an amusing read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Read for Review (Avon)Overall Rating: 3.50Story Rating: 3.50Character Rating: 3.50First Thought when Finished: An Heiress For All Seasons by Sophie Jordan was a great Christmas Novella. I would have liked more story and character building (I always do with novellas) but felt overall that this was a good read to get you in the holiday spirit!Part of my Read It, Rate It, File It, Done Reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Historical, Holiday, RomanceEngland Violet Howard is feisty and independent and she is also an American heiress who is determined to never wed a crusty British Aristocrat. Will is the Earl of Merlton who is determined to save his family and salvages the family fortune without having to have a marriage of convenience. Suddenly a snow storm leaves Violet and Will alone and stranded. It also brings out the chemistry they feel for each other and that will challenge all their good intentions. When their desires end up burning too hot they end up tossing their reservations aside in favor of the heat they find in each other’s arms. Now a holiday blizzard has brought them together and it also threatens their reputations. It also just might cost them their hearts in the process. Now they have to decide if their passion will survive past the storm. They also have to decide if the love they have found together is enough to last them through all seasons.This is a great novella that is sure to put readers into the spirit of the holidays. It is at a length that is sure to give readers a much needed break during their holiday preparations. For such a short story it packs a lot of heart and warmth in just a few pages. This is one book that will prove to be a favorite to read especially at the holiday seasons. The characters are well written and carry the story very well. This is part of a series but can be read as a standalone though it will have readers wanting to read the first book in the series.
