By Winter's Light: A Cynster Novel
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Laurens returns to romantic Scotland to usher in a new generation of Cynsters in an enchanting tale of mistletoe, magic, and love.
It's December 1837, and the young adults of the Cynster clan have succeeded in having the family Christmas celebration held at snowbound Casphairn Manor, Richard and Catriona Cynster's home. Led by Sebastian, Marquess of Earith, and by Lucilla, future Lady of the Vale, and her twin brother, Marcus, the upcoming generation has its own plans for the holiday season.
Yet where Cynsters gather, love is never far behind. The festive occasion brings together Daniel Crosbie, tutor to Lucifer Cynster's sons, and Claire Meadows, widow and governess to Gabriel Cynster's daughter. Daniel and Claire have met before, and the embers of an unexpected passion smolder between them, but Claire—once bitten, twice shy—believes a second marriage is not in her stars. Daniel, however, is determined to press his suit. He has seen the love the Cynsters share, and Claire is the lady with whom he dreams of sharing his life. Assisted by a bevy of Cynsters, innate matchmakers every one, Daniel strives to persuade Claire that trusting him with her hand and her heart is her right path to happiness.
Meanwhile, out riding on Christmas Eve, the young adults of the Cynster clan respond to a plea for help. Summoned to a humble dwelling in ruggedly forested mountains, Lucilla is called on to help with the difficult birth of a child, while the others rise to the challenge of helping her. With a violent storm closing in and severely limited options, the next generation of Cynsters face their first collective test—can they save this mother and child—and themselves, too?
Back at the manor, Claire is increasingly drawn to Daniel, and, despite her misgivings, against the backdrop of the ongoing festivities their relationship deepens. Yet she remains torn—until catastrophe strikes, and by winter's light she learns that love—true love—is worth any risk, any price.

- source: Booklist, praise for the author
- content: "When it comes to dishing up lusciously sensual, relentlessly readable historical romances, Laurens is unrivaled."
- premium: True

- content: In this twenty-first installment of the Cynster family adventures, tutor Daniel Crosbie is resolved to win the heart of governess Claire Meadows during the family's Christmas festivities. But Claire has already loved and lost once, and is hesitant to risk her heart again. Though Matthew Brenher's voice is simply delightful, and his calm, mellow delivery is engaging, he employs accents or inflection only for certain characters. While these few are compelling and unique, most of the considerable cast, particularly the female characters, remain largely indistinct. Also, longtime fans appreciate Stephanie Laurens's understated humor and character insights, and the absence of these in Brenher's narration downplays the story's suspense.
