Adventurer Lance Desmond needs to produce a fortune before his arch-rival collects the bounty on his head. He risks an ancient curse to retrieve treasure hidden within icebound Castle Cavanaugh, only to become trapped inside. Not with the gold he so desperately needs, but with medieval Princess Marigold who's been cooling her heels since... well, medieval times.

The lonely princess refuses to acknowledge the blossoming attraction between them. Not just because she deserves a better future than a penniless rogue. But because at midnight, he'll vanish like all her other would-be heroes. And the evergreen in the parlor will have one more figurine hanging from its boughs..

Apparently this story was re-released under the name Kissed by Magic, but when I got it on Kindle, it was called Let It Snow. The story is less a Christmas story then a Frozen-esque fantasy romance. I was okay with the romance portion. I wasn’t a fan of the weird mix of magic and pirates and curses and our modern conveniences like cell phones and GPS. Too much! The author should have removed a few aspect especially considering that the story was not that long.
