In this marriage of restoration novella, a duke is convinced the perfect Christmas can make his bride fall in love.
A heartwarming Christmas retelling of Gaetano Donizetti's beloved opera *L'Elisir d'Amore:
To restore a tiny Italian duchy after Napoleon's fall, the last heirs of two noble families must marry.
For Miss Charlotte Ashford, the arrangement is perfectly simple. Travel to Italy. Marry a duke she has never met. Restore the duchy. Return to England before the New Year.
She has spent years building a life where she answers to no one, and she refuses to let one inconvenient husband—or his impossibly warm Italian family—change her plans.
Lorenzo della Rocca has spent his entire life believing that people belong together. So when fate hands him a wife, he has no intention of letting her slip away. Inspired by his favorite tale of a magical love elixir, Lorenzo becomes convinced that Charlotte doesn't need a potion.
She needs the perfect Christmas.
If he can fill her days with candlelit feasts, village festivals, midnight music, and the joy of a family she never knew she wanted, surely she'll discover that home isn't a place. It's the people who choose you.
But love cannot be brewed like mulled wine, wrapped beneath a Christmas tree, or hidden inside the perfect holiday.
With Christmas Day—and Charlotte's departure—drawing ever closer, Lorenzo must discover that the greatest gift he can offer his reluctant bride isn't a reason to stay.
It's the freedom to choose.
The Duke's Love Elixir is a heartwarming Regency romance filled with holiday magic, witty banter, found family, irresistible Italian traditions, and a happily ever after worthy of the grandest opera.
