The Wallflower's Christmas Angel
(2022)(Book 11 in the Christmas Wallflowers series)
A novel by Louisa Cornell
He’s not the usual wallflower. She’s no one’s idea of an angel.
Returning home after years at war, one expects to make some adjustments. Lieutenant Lord Clyve Melton, Viscount Turville, was prepared to deal with the loss of his leg. But no man, not even a seasoned cavalry officer, could hope to prepare for the determined campaign of a mother and two sisters determined to find him a wife. To avoid complete surrender, Clyve agrees to a devil’s bargain. He will attend one final Christmas season’s entertainments, after which he will be allowed to flee to Melton Grange and life as a miserable hermit. After all, a mere country viscount with only one leg was in no danger of attracting any matrimonial prospects no matter how many holiday balls he attended.
Lady Delphine Hart had enjoyed every moment of her five years as the Season’s Diamond. She’d been courted by and tossed aside suitor after suitor simply because she could. Only to be jilted by her ducal fiancé in a spectacular fashion in front of the entire ton. In the two years since, Delphine has done her utmost to become the most scandalous lady in London. A mission she fully intends to continue in spite of her brother’s insistence she attend the flurry of Christmas balls this holiday season in order to finally catch a respectable husband. After all, no Society gentleman, respectable or not, would dare dance with the scandalous Queen of Harts, let alone take a chance on courting her.
He’s taciturn, arrogant, and in possession of a cutting wit. She’s outrageous, irreverent, and too damned beautiful by half. Never were two people less suited to each other. Then again…’tis the Season!
Genre: Historical Romance
