A blazing fire, an English country house . . . and the
ultimate game of charades. In this charming holiday novel
from #1 New York Times bestselling author Victoria
Alexander, a beautiful widow finds her plan for a Christmas
proposal going perfectly awry . . .
Camille, Lady Lydingham, knows precisely what she wants for
Christmas--an official engagement to a handsome, dashing
prince. Her very proper suitor expects a proper English
family and the perfect Dickensian Christmas, which leaves
the lovely widow with a slight problem. The last thing
Camille wants is for the prince to meet her unconventional
relatives. But with the aid of a troupe of actors, Camille
intends to pull off a Christmas deception of massive
proportions.
At least until Grayson Elliot shows up. A dozen years ago,
he declared his love on the day before her marriage to
another man, then vanished from her life. Now he's back,
gate-crashing Camille's already chaotic house party, playing
absolute havoc with her scheme--and with her heart. Because
for Grayson, losing Camille once was quite bad enough.
Losing her twice? Unthinkable. And he'll find a way to show
her they belong together--for this season, and every
Christmas yet to come . . .
