The Christmas Gift: A Caversham Chronicles Novella

Lady Beverly has never forgotten the promise her husband made to her when they married. He promised her as many children as she wanted because she’d grown up a lonely, only child. The return of her husband from his diplomatic duties overseas is going to provide her with the opportunity to conceive this child—except he has been avoiding their bed.

Lord Christopher Fenwicke, Viscount Huddleston, returned from Afghanistan minus a good portion of his left leg. The pain he lives with is alleviated only with the opium he takes daily. And while it dulls the pain, it cannot ever give him the ability to do the things he used to love. But more than that, the thing that frustrates and upsets him the most, is the fact that he isn't able to make love to his wife since his return. Telling this to his wife was, for him, the lowest point in his life because he can’t explain what caused it, and the expert he consulted could give him no hope for a cure.

Beverly tries to think of what is causing this affliction, and when she hits upon what she believes it to be, she has to convince her husband to let her help him. Christopher would try anything if it would give him back his passion for living again, and most especially the ability to make good on that promise he made to the wife he has adored from the moment they met.
