Dear Sir,
. . . I feel I should inform you that your mother is very
ill. If you wish to see her before it is too late, you
should come at once. Sincerely, Mrs. Camilla Stuart
Pierce Waverly, the Earl of Devonmont, has led an unabashed
rogue's life, letting no woman near his heart. Inexplicably
abandoned as a child to be raised by distant relatives, he
never forgave his parents, refusing to read any of his
mother's letters after his father's death. Then came a
letter that shook his resolve. A Christmas visit to
Montcliff might prove his last chance to discover the truth
of his past, and come to terms with the stranger he
calls "mother."
But two surprises await him at Montcliff. His mother is
perfectly healthy, nowhere near a deathbed as her meddling
lady's companion led him to believe. The second is Camilla
Stuart herself, a lively vicar's widow with secrets of her
own, too bright and beautiful not to arouse the scoundrel
in Pierce. As the Earl's bold flirtation and suggestive
whispers draw Camilla dangerously close, can anything
protect her vulnerable heart? If they are destined to share
real happiness, there must be honesty between
them—yet telling him the truth about her own life may
shatter that chance.
"Bestseller Jeffries (To Wed a Wild Lord) delivers a moving
Regency with heart, soul, and holiday spirit . . . While
Pierce tries hard to be a cold–hearted rake, his
essential goodness is evident throughout, as is Camilla's
irresistible optimism. The compelling, fast–paced,
and lively tale wraps up with several surprising,
tear–jerking twists."
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Sharply witty, deliciously sexy, and infinitely endearing,
this holiday gem strikes an emotional chord that will
resonate with fans long after the book has been closed.
Jeffries's first hardcover release, it serves as a bridge
between her recent "Hellions of Halstead Hall" quintet and
a new series that is slated to begin next spring."
—Library Journal, starred review
"An utterly wonderful novel from the incomparable Jeffries.
Emotional, sensual, smart and wonderfully romantic, this is
the type of story that fills readers with joy and reminders
of the spirit of the holiday, family ties and true love.
There's humor, tenderness, mystery and passion enough to
please everyone.
