For Christmas and the rest of the year!

The title story of this collection begins just before Christmas, when an unexpected visitor arrives, claiming to be the fiancée of the son of the house. But he knows nothing about it and wishes to marry someone else. This muddle has to be sorted out, or it's not only Christmas that will be ruined.

Then there are are four other Regency stories to make you smile. A widow finds love when an unusual new neighbour turns up looking for help; a young woman scientist finds a buyer for her father's chemistry laboratory but gets more than she bargained for; Sir Robert befriends a homely governess and her charge and conveys them to London, where his future is changed forever by a dog and a dimple; a young woman with an extraordinarily beautiful best friend discovers that she isn't necessarily cast into the shade by her.

These charming and cozy stories are perfect for a bedtime read or for curling up next to the fire in a favorite chair. Happy endings all the way!
