Gentleman of Christmas Past (The Prequel)

A lady determined to find love. A gentleman wanting her hand in marriage. A Christmas story you will never forget.

Miss Agnes Fitzsimmons will do whatever it takes to catch the eye of one Mr. Phillip Rutley. Even if it means bribing a courier to deliver letters to him herself. Tall and handsome, Phillip is everything Agnes’s heart desires for Christmas. But looming financial burdens are keeping him from asking that one important question.

Will he ever propose marriage?

Phillip Rutley has always thought Agnes the loveliest woman he had ever met. The more time they spend together only makes his feelings for her stronger. Smart, witty, and beautiful, she is everything he could ever want in a wife. But with bankruptcy looming over him, Phillip postpones not only asking for her hand but also turning over his heart to her as well.

They each have one wish for Christmas.

As Christmas Eve draws closer, Phillip searches for a way to provide everything they will need for a comfortable life together. And for Agnes, she must also draw on her own strengths so they both can have the happily ever after they deserve.
