Author Book List

Christmas 1815. Upstairs and downstairs, Holbourne Hall is
abuzz with preparations for a grand ball to celebrate the
year’s most festive—and romantic—holiday. For at the top of
each guest’s wish list is a last chance to find true love
before the New Year…

A chance meeting beneath the mistletoe, a stolen glance
across the dance floor—amid the sumptuous delicacies,
glittering decorations, and swell of the orchestra, every
duchess and debutante, lord and lackey has a hopeful heart.
There’s the headstrong heiress who must win back her
beloved
by midnight—or be wed to another….the spinster whose
fateful
choice to relinquish love may hold one more surprise for
her…a widow yearning to glimpse her long-lost love for even
one sweet, fleeting interlude …a charming rake who finds
far
more than he bargained for. And many other dazzling,
romantic tales in this star-studded collection that will
fill your heart and spice up your holidays…
