Christmas magic is in the air... From the ballrooms of
London, to abandoned Scottish castles, to the snowy streets
of Gilded Age New York, four bestselling authors whip up
some unforgettable romance...with a little help from some
enchanted shortbread.
"Meet Me in Mayfair" by Tessa Dare
Louisa Ward needs a Christmas miracle. Unless she catches a
wealthy husband at the ball tonight, the horrid, heartless
Duke of Thorndale will evict her family from their beloved
Mayfair home. But when her friend begs to switch dance
cards, Louisa finds herself waltzing with the enemy: the
horrid, heartless--and unexpectedly handsome--Thorndale
himself. Now the duke's holding her future in his
hands...and he's not letting go.
"The Duke of Christmas Present" by Sarah MacLean
Rich and ruthless, Eben, Duke of Allryd, has no time for
holidays. Holidays are for whimsy and charm--the only two
things his money cannot buy. Lady Jacqueline Mosby is full
of both, even now, twelve years after she left to see the
world. When Jacqueline returns for a single Christmas, Eben
can't resist the woman he never stopped loving...or the
future that had once been in reach. It will take a miracle
to convince her to stay...but if ever there were a time for
miracles, it's Christmas...
"Heiress Alone" by Sophie Jordan
When Annis Bannister's family leaves her behind in the rush
to escape an impending snowstorm, she finds herself stranded
in the Highlands, left to fend off brigands terrorizing the
countryside, robbing homes locked up for winter. Her only
hope falls on her neighbor, a surly hermit duke who unravels
her with a look, then a kiss ... until she fears the danger
to her heart outweighs the danger of brigands and
snowstorms.
"Christmas in Central Park" by Joanna Shupe
Women all over America devour Mrs. Walker's weekly column
for recipes and advice. No one knows Rose, the column's
author, can't even boil water. When the paper's owner, Duke
Havemeyer, insists she host a Christmas party, Rose must
scramble to find a husband, an empty mansion, and a cook.
But Duke is not a man easily fooled and she fears her
perfect plan is failing--especially when Duke's attentions
make her feel anything but professional. To save her career
will she give up her chance at love?
