Once Upon a Winter's Eve
(2024)(The third book in the Christmas Courtships series)
A novel by M A Nichols
He thinks she's a maid. She thinks he's a penniless poet. ‘Tis the season for a misunderstanding!
Julian Knight cannot believe his luck. Meeting his literary hero is a dream come true, but spending a month in the fellow’s home is bliss. A few weeks away from his life of ledgers and finances to bask in their shared love of poetry and hone his skill at the feet of a master. It couldn’t be more perfect…Until he mistakes their eldest daughter for the maid.
Now, the lady is determined to make the holidays uncomfortable for him. There must be a way to get back into her good graces!
An artist’s life isn’t romantic. Scraping by to feed your family isn’t something to idolize, and though her family prizes following one’s passions above all other things, Angelica Callaghan wants nothing to do with it—or the latest of her father’s protégés. With Christmas descending and her estranged brother returning home with his wife and child, Angelica has enough on her plate without suffering the attentions of her father’s aggravating guest.
Especially when the fellow keeps flirting with her! Romance is a fool’s game, and Angelica isn’t some young miss, susceptible to a few honeyed words from another silly poet-in-training who will end up living off his friends’ charity. Not ever again.
Can the warmth of the holiday season melt the ice between them?
