Her Christmas Rogue by Christi Caldwell
Lady Winifred Grisham has been in love with her
brother's best friend Lord Trent Ballantine more years than
she can remember. The only problem is, Trent is a notorious
rogue who doesn't dally with the respectable. Except, Winnie
doesn't want a dalliance--she wants his heart.
Born to a miserable family, Lord Trent has found joy and
comfort in the folds of his best friend's family. Except,
over the years he's begun to notice something. Winnie who
he'd always seen as another sister, is in fact something
more--a captivating woman. Now, loving Winnie as he does,
Trent knows she deserves more than a rogue in her life. With
Winnie's mother rushing her off to try and make a match at
Lady Weston's annual Christmastide house party, Winnie has
but a few days to show Trent, that all she needs is his
love. But then this is Christmas...when anything can happen!
To Make a Perfect Scandal by Danelle Harmon
Tristan St. Aubyn, the Earl of Weybourne, is a driven
man. Haunted by the bad decisions he made in his youth, his
life is all about work ... working to restore his fortunes,
working to rebuild the herd of unique racehorses that were
his late father's legacy, working to forget just how lonely
he really is. Lord Weybourne isn't looking for a wife ...
but when a saucy young lady dressed as a lad finds her way
into his stable and charms the most irascible colt in the
barn, Tristan can't help but be intrigued ... until she
flees, frightened of discovery.
The Honourable Miss Letitia Ponsonby comes from a family
of seafarers but for her, freedom is found on the back of a
horse. She has no desire to wed the dreadful suitor her
mother has chosen for her, ready and waiting at Lady
Weston's Christmastide house party. All that's needed is the
perfect scandal to deter him. But when Letitia finds not the
abominable Homer Trout waiting for her at the house party
but Lord Weybourne himself, the very desire they each feel
for the other is all that is needed to create that perfect
scandal...
To Win a Quiet Heart by Renee Bernard
Suffering from crippling shyness, Nicodemus
Chesterfield, the Earl of Athmore, would rather battle an
army of demons than put one toe inside the treacherous
social waters of a holiday house party. But sometimes, a man
just has to face his fears—and when Jane Pemberly is the
surprisingly beautiful and fantastically charming prize at
the opposite end of the gauntlet—it seems there is nothing a
man won’t do to sidestep scandals and win her love.
To Tempt a Saint by Valerie Bowman
What happens when a saint is tempted by a sinner?
Prudence Carmichael is the epitome of well, prudence. But
when a rumored pirate—with whom she just might have had a
secret scandalous interlude years ago, that she’s been
beating herself up about ever since—appears at Lady Weston's
Christmastide house party and charms the innocent young lady
again, can Prudence resist her first and greatest temptation?
