Three titillating, heartfelt stories from the pen of Holly Newman. An offer from a gentleman, an investigation gone awry, and a holiday gift that turns the Christmas tide…
Gentleman’s Trade
Rain fell in sheets that fateful day and, to lovely Vanessa Mannion’s dismay, turned New Orleans’ main street into one big mud puddle… But even with skirts held high, it isn’t half as alarming as being caught with muddy ankles by arrogant Britisher, Hugh Talverton. Embarrassed, Vanessa determines to ignore Hugh at a party. Then, when Creole and plantation beauties swarm around him, she simmers in irritation and, in a fit of pique, pursues another would-be suitor. Her ploy will lead to a tangle of heartstrings, romance awry, and a lesson in love…
A Heart in Jeopardy
She risked her life for honor… And her heart for love. The scions of Crawford’s Dean did not like the family who rented Leona Leonard’s ancestral home, and so they came to tell her: There’s something strange going on in that house. Leona promises to investigate, but snooping leads to danger, and when danger forces her to seek sanctuary at Deveraux’s ancestral castle, she discovers the passion beneath his honorable intentions … and a soul-searing desire that would flame into a breathtaking love!
The Rocking Horse
Miss Jocelyn Maybrey sees the Christmas holiday invitation to Bayneville Castle, the country estate of the 8th Marquess of Tarkington, as a perfect way to clear her head and consider her future. The house party was to celebrate her friend Lady Mary Bayne’s betrothal. But when Lady Mary contracts a wicked cold and becomes bedridden, Jocelyn finds herself thrown into the Marquess’s company. But what amazed her was the wood-turning lessons she found him taking from the estate carpenter. He was making a rocking horse, not watching its creation. The handmade toy was Lord Tarkington’s gift for his young daughter. His labor of love touched Jocelyn, and she knew she had found her heart’s desire…
