The Debutante’s Gift | The Debutantes of the West

Marianne Sheffield had it all figured out. The perfect plan. Every detail was locked in place. But life has a funny way of twisting even the most carefully laid schemes.  

Marianne is a woman of reason and strategy, always ready to face challenges with a sharp mind and an unshakable plan. When her twin sister needed an escape from an arranged marriage, Mari stepped in with confidence. Her goal? To delay the wedding long enough to expose John Maximillian Banks — an ambitious and wealthy suitor — as unsuitable. By Christmas, her plan would leave him no choice but to call the whole thing off, saving her family’s honor in the process. But the plan backfired spectacularly. Now, instead of retreating in defeat, Max is her husband, and she’s headed with him to the snowy peaks of Durango for a Colorado Christmas. Among the glittering decorations and festive cheer, Mari starts to see a different side of the man she was determined to outsmart — one with more depth, charm, and warmth than she ever expected.  

John Maximillian Banks is no stranger to winning. Whether in business or matters of the heart, Max always gets what he wants. When the chance to expand his transportation empire came with a marriage arrangement to the beautiful Sheffield debutante, he saw it as a perfect match — on paper. But soon after the vows, it became clear his bride wasn’t the docile, sweet woman he remembered meeting. Instead, she was bold, fiery, and unapologetically outspoken. Hardly the pliant partner he envisioned, but undeniably captivating. Now, with their business merger complete and Christmas on the horizon, Max finds himself longing for more than just a business partnership. He’s already claimed her hand. All he wants now is her heart.  

Because sometimes, the most extraordinary gifts don’t come wrapped in ribbon — they come with surprises, challenges, and a love that changes everything.
