Three wonderful Regency Christmas romance tales to warm you up on a cold winter's day.
A Scot For Christmas - A friends-to-lovers Christmas Romance!
Lady Emma Duckworth has despaired of ever receiving an offer of marriage. The daughter of an Earl, with a large dowry, should have no difficulty finding a husband. Nicknamed ‘Giraffeworth’, apparently towering over men is not conducive to matrimony. She’s therefore decided to embrace her life and future as a spinster but has one wish to fulfill before she locks herself away. She has to convince the man who owns her heart, a man who barely acknowledges she’s alive, to give her one night of passion.
Since he lost his wife, Dougray McGregor, Earl of Lorne has shut himself away. He’ll never risk his heart again and is happy to abide by his late father’s wishes and marry his neighbor’s daughter to save their family from the poorhouse. But fate has other ideas when his best friend’s spinster sister arrives at his door. Lady Emma is all grown up, and for the first time since his wife’s death, his passions are stirred. It would be so easy to give in to her request. But when Emma stirs more than his lust, can he protect his battered heart and fulfill his vow to his father.
Lord Of Pleasure (For Christmas) - An enemies-to-lovers Christmas Romance
A few days before Christmas, Lady Georgiana Marsh has snuck onto the Earl of Hascombe’s estate to take back Apollo, the colt her father had no right to sell. Unfortunately, the devastatingly handsome Daniel Kerrich, Baron de Winter, would rather spend time in the stables than in his brother-in-law’s drawing room and catches her in the act.
Before Daniel can arrest the stunning beauty, she distracts him with a kiss under the mistletoe and… knocks him out cold. Now Daniel is determined to get his revenge. The only trouble is, the cunning vixen seems immune to his charms, that is, until Daniel takes ownership of the one thing she wants—Apollo. What is Georgiana prepared to give him for the colt? Suddenly he knows exactly what he wants in return—a beautiful hoyden with a stubborn streak to match his own. Can he convince the fiercely independent Georgiana that he is a man worthy of her love?’
The Duke's Christmas List - A best friend's sister Christmas Romance
Lady Harriet Rondell has particular notions with regard to her future. She refuses to follow her brother’s decree and society’s conventions, by accepting Alexander Montague, the Duke of Bladestow’s offer of a marriage of convenience. Armed with a stolen copy of Blade’s secret—and disgustingly traditional—list of what he really wants in a wife, Harriet is determined to make Blade forget every point on his list and replace it with love.
Alexander Montague, the Duke of Bladestow —a cynic who doesn’t believe in true love—sees a ruthless rake setting up his childhood friend, Lady Harriet Rondell, as a target for seduction, and he is determined to prevent her ruin by marrying her himself. With the aid and connivance of her brother, Blade must convince the reluctant—and increasingly eccentric—lady—that he is the man who will fulfil her dreams. After all, what a duke wants for Christmas…to his surprise is love.
