Mademoiselle Christine D'Ornay and her family are French refugees in England seeking safety from the Revolution. At her first Assembly ball, Christine meets the dashing and elegant Lord Russell. He makes her heart quake, but the lives of French aristocrats are cheap in an age of betrayal, and Jacobites are on the prowl. Can Christine and her family trust this new friend? Or is Lord Russell the enemy they fear most?

Lord Russell also has secrets and needs to determine if Christine and her family are what they claim to be...or something he must avoid at all costs.

I absolutely loved this story that weaves a bit of history, danger, risk, human error, and romance together. I'm still humming the 12 Days of Christmas!

Short but Sweet. I love to read but don't have a lot of spare time, so this charming short story fit the bill perfectly...Looking forward to more stories by this author.

I enjoyed this story immensely...Lord Russell is just my type of Lord-handsome and dangerous.

Creative and engaging. (Burkard) keeps readers guessing the outcome.

Sometimes short is wonderful. Just enough narration and short concise delightful descriptions.
