The powerful Duke of Danby is at it again!
1816 was the year without a summer, but what a Christmas
it will be when His Grace finally turns his matchmaking
machinations to distant branches of the Whitton family
tree.
Deb Marlowe's Lady, It’s Cold Outside
Miss
Glenna Bolton is not having a Happy Christmas. She’s lost
her grandfather and the bookshop they ran together. If
not for the invitation from the Duke of Danby, she would
have no place to go. * No Christmas festivities for Baron
Ellesworth this year. His newly inherited estate is in
bad shape—and so is his bank account. He’ll spend the
holiday traveling to do a bit of business with Lord
Danby, in hopes of bringing Christmas to Elleshaven next
year. * Traveling during the holiday season doesn’t sound
romantic, but a star in the East, an abandoned child and
a quest for holiday cheer might just convince these two
that love is the best gift of the Season.
Jerrica Knight-Catania’s Gabriel’s Christmas Wish
Gabriel Whitton isn't thrilled he's being forced to
go to Yorkshire for Christmas this year, but he's willing
to make the most of it in his comfy room with a bottle of
brandy and a warm fire. But when his pestering sisters
force him out into the cold, he finds something far more
interesting than a bottle of brandy. * Sara Beth
Millstone has a secret that hardly anyone in town is
privy to, so it's rather alarming when she realizes the
handsome new stranger has figured her out. Now she must
decide between her pride and what could be true love.
Marie Higgins’s Worth Fighting For
Lindsay
Lennox, daughter of the governor of Turkey, worries
she’ll never have the chance to meet a man and fall in
love. Being the youngest of eight daughters, it is
customary for all of her sisters to marry before she can
be out in society and even meet a man. Her twenty-fourth
birthday is coming quickly, and she’s running out of
hope. Desperation takes hold and she disguises herself as
a servant in order to slip through the palace gates.
Disaster strikes when she meets a handsome sea captain
and is mistakenly whisked across the sea to England.
Lindsay knows her only hope of salvation will be to find
her Whitton relatives in England and beg for help.
Unfortunately, the devastating Captain Braxton proves
more temptation than her lonely heart can resist.
