Charmed at Christmas
Treat yourself to a break from the stress of the holidays. Curl up with your favorite blanket, or grab a chair while the pies bake and indulge yourself in some wholesome Regency romance. Lords and ladies, misters and misses, and a lone marquess, all seek everlasting love, some under the watchful eye of the Duke of Danby, that wily old matchmaker.
These seven novellas have been previously released.
A Bride for Christmas
The Christmas season has always been important to Nash Sinclair. Home from the war and surrounded by his large, loving family, he realizes what is missing from his life: a wife. Not too surprisingly, he is looking at his sister-in-law's rather becoming (and unmarried) sister when he makes the decision.
Lady Julianna intends to remain unmarried, having no need for a husband to live the life of her dreams. Rather than explain her unusual choice, she insists only a man who slays dragons would suit her, and since dragons don't exist, neither does her ideal beau.
Not one to turn away from a challenge, Nash enlists the aid of his nieces and nephews in a scheme sure to win Lady Julianna's affection. But as he comes to know the lady better, he realizes he's risking his own heart. When did his silly idea become a crucial quest?
The Mistletoe Mishap
Seeing the woman to whom he intends to propose standing under the mistletoe, Robert, Viscount Alderton, can't resist stealing a kiss. He's quite surprised to discover her cousin, Isabella Stone, in his arms. And more surprised at how much he enjoyed kissing her.
Unbeknownst to the two, a notorious rake witnessed the kiss and takes it for granted Isabella was a willing participant. The rake's attempted seduction of Isabella becomes the scandal of the Christmas ball.
Alderton will do anything to keep Isabella safe, including marrying her. But Isabella could never admit her feelings for her cousin's intended, and always hoped to marry for love. Can Alderton prove the accidental kiss was actually fate's intervention?

A broken carriage wheel leaves them stranded, and Harriet's reputation is at stake. Morley's not ready to take a wife, until he's told he wouldn't be a suitable husband for her. With memories of her sweet, tempting kiss filling his thoughts, he prepares to fight for the hand of the woman he believes he could love.
