It's Christmas 1817 and the Duke of Danby is matchmaking
again!
Spend the holidays in Yorkshire with freshly fallen snow,
Yuletide balls and mistletoe kisses.
AVA STONE's ON THE WAY TO THE CASTLE...
Identical twins, Ladies Lily and Amelia Woodward may look
the same, but they’re as different as night and day.
Ever-dutiful Lily is resigned to whatever destiny their
great-uncle the Duke of Danby has in store for her, while
free-spirited Amelia is determined to fight His Grace
every step of the way. With Christmas upon them, the
Woodwards set out for Danby Castle and stumble across an
overturned coach and a pair of handsome gentlemen in
peril. Will this fateful encounter alter the future for
both sisters and the likely plans the duke had in store
for all of them?
SAMANTHA GRACE's THREE LITTLE WORDS...
Disheartened but not defeated, Gavin MacBride temporarily
abandon’s plans for restoring the family coffers to
escort his sister-in-law’s long-lost relative to
Yorkshire for a reunion. Gavin might have failed to
secure funds to ensure his family’s future prosperity,
but surely, he can deliver a young woman to Danby Castle
in one piece. * Heiress Victoria Eastland isn’t making
his job easy, though, especially when she sets off for
Yorkshire alone. With no carriages for hire at the local
coaching inn, Gavin is resigned to give chase on
horseback in inclement weather, but a Good Samaritan
takes pity on Gavin and invites him to share his coach.
Soon, the newfound friends are led on a merry chase that
ends with a bold rescue and an unexpected discovery. The
outspoken, foolishly brave Miss Eastland has been under
Gavin's nose the whole time—and a little too close when
one is unprepared to lose his heart.
CLAUDIA DAIN's SUITOR BY SURPRISE...
Miss Judith Whitton, youngest niece of the Duke of Danby,
is not yet married. Having met John Copley one year ago
at her first Christmas in Yorkshire, she is puzzled that
John has not yet offered for her, especially after the
intimacies they shared. * Mr. Alfred FitzHerbert knows
why Copley has not offered for Judith: Copley is a
scoundrel. If Alfred can distract Judith from her fatal
infatuation with Copley successfully, Danby will fund his
bridge project. Distract, not wed. No one looking at
Alfie could ever imagine him being any girl's fatal
attraction, an insult no true Englishman can be expected
to ignore, not even one nicknamed 'the archbishop.'
