Storyline
Aspiring writer Sabrina Post lands a dream job ghostwriting a memoir for Grayson Westcott, a renowned art dealer with a storied past. As she immerses herself in the grandeur of the Gotham Grand Hotel during Christmas, she finds herself drawn to Ian Turner, a mysterious and charming British stranger. Unbeknownst to her, Ian is connected to Spencer Braxton, a high-profile aristocrat in town for an exclusive jewelry exhibit.
As Sabrina and Ian’s connection deepens, secrets unravel—namely Ian’s true identity and the hidden history between Grayson and his long-lost love, Charlotte Morgan. Through a backdrop of glittering holiday balls, snow-covered New York streets, and the timeless charm of the Cordelia books, Sabrina must navigate truth, love, and the magic of the season. With Christmas approaching, will Sabrina and Ian take a leap of faith, or will old fears keep them apart? And will Grayson finally come to terms with the past he’s spent a lifetime trying to forget?
