Charming Regency Christmas tales.
Seduction on a Snowy Night by Mary Jo Putney; Madeline Hunter; Sabrina Jeffries
Three stellar stories bringing that extra taste of Christmas happiness into being for those involved, despite the obstacles that always seem to cut across many of the delightful, and often stubborn protagonists' paths. And yes, snow is involved in all!
A Christmas Abduction by Madeline Hunter
When Baron Thornhill, noted rake, finds himself kidnapped and held in a cottage he's somewhere between annoyed and amused. His captor is a rather unorthodox young woman who managed this feat with a younger man and a couple of older retainers. The big question is why? Caroline Dunham has planned this matter carefully. The Baron will make up for his perfidy. So a Christmas journey, where Thornhill was contemplating being engaged to a rather demanding woman has become something quite different.
A Perfect Match by Sabrina Jeffries
The problem of writing as someone else comes home to haunt Cassandra Isles.
Colonel Lord Heywood Wolfe must marry an heires. He has been enthralled by letters ostensibly from his fellow officer's sister Kitty during the long continental campaign. He has come to woo this compelling heiress, only to be throughly confused, puzzled by the person he'd hoped to marry, as over against her delightful cousin. Cassandra is also an heiress but that knowledge is not broadly known. She wants to be loved for herself, not her money. After some rocky moments and intrigue, including a displorable cad, it seems Christmas time can be a special time of year for all.
One Wicked Winter Night by Mary Jo Putney
Having fled lost love, Lady Diana Lawrence traveled the world. Her decision to return to England, despite enjoying her current years in India will put her back in touch with her beloved family. She looks forward to starting a specialized import business and to write her about her journeys as travelogues. Anticipating a leisurely pace in London as an older single woman, love has no place in her heart, until extreme measures come into play.
