The Protegre Brides: Winter

At nearly 50, Winter stands out amongst the other Protegre brides. Returned time and time again, cast from one awful alien aristocrat to another, Winter knows it’s only a matter of time before she’s back at Protegre. When she’s married at first sight to the widower Naventh, she resolves to keep her heart guarded. But the tranquility of her new life on his farm and Naventh’s kindness are a balm to her bruised heart.

Struggling with her own emotions stemming from a past filled with betrayal, Winter fears that the fragile happiness she’s found might shatter at any moment. Meanwhile, Naventh still mourns his late wife, wrestling with emotions he never thought possible for Winter.

When the legitimacy of their marriage is called into question by his cousin, Sobanin, Winter realizes exactly what she stands to lose if he prevails. As they confront their greatest trial yet, Naventh and Winter are forced to confront their deepest fears and embrace the uncertainty of love.
