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.
Collection One includes:
Ava Stone’s Lady Patience’s Christmas Kitten
Lady Patience Post is about to lose the one thing she really
wants for Christmas – the sweetest kitten in all the world.
But unless she can figure out a way to save the little ball
of fluff, her brother will toss the cat unceremoniously out
into the snow. Luckily, a summons from the Duke of Danby
arrives at the perfect time for a feline reprieve. Now if
only the little Angora can behave himself in Yorkshire over
the holidays so she can devise the perfect plan to keep
him... Doctor Matthew Campion was not part of the plan. But
after he treats Patience for an infected kitten bite, she
can’t help falling completely in love with the handsome and
thoughtful doctor. But will her family and the duke approve?
Rose Gordon’s Mistletoe and Michaelmas
The last thing Daphne Cavanaugh wants to do is marry—well,
perhaps not the last thing, but it's certainly not at the
top of her list, especially if it's only to get her out of
her guardian's hair… * Aaron Lentz has faith in marriage—for
other people, that is. Having been betrayed and made a fool
once before, he has no inclination to walk down the aisle… *
But perhaps a sprig of mistletoe, a dash of fate and a
shameless, meddling family (even in the form of an ancient
duke), Michaelmas, 1816 might bring about a future they
never expected.
Lily George’s A Christmas Courtship
Anthony Carew, Earl of Bexley, is the unwitting object of
scandal when his betrothed elopes with another man. While
Bexley is all too happy to return to a quiet life of
farming, his formidable grandmother, along with her brother,
the Duke of Danby, have different plans. To quiet gossip and
fulfill his duty as the eldest son, he must find a wife, and
soon. * Shy Rosamond Hughes has secretly been in love with
Bexley’s younger brother for years, and she is encouraged by
his sisters to sweep the wandering younger son off his feet
when he returns home for the holidays. What better way to
hone her meager flirting skills than by practicing on their
recently jilted brother, Bexley? * In her quest to follow
her heart, Rosamond accompanies the Carews to Christmas at
Danby Castle. After a few magical days, she finds that the
man she adores is the man she’s been pretending to flirt
with all along. Now it only remains for the young lady to
convince the farmer to take a wife.
