Book Description
Get lost in the holiday season - or anytime during the year - with these enchanting novellas from multi-award winning author, Tabetha Waite! A Promise Beneath the Kissing Bough Cornell Reed is the bastard son of an earl, who was raised as a commoner by his mother, a maid who had been dismissed from service after it was discovered she was carrying an illegitimate child. Because of his modest upbringing, Cornell had never cared to be recognized by his father, Lord Haverton. He is content with his simple life as a cordwainer in London, a skill he’d learned during his years as a sea-faring naval captain. It isn’t until he advertises for an apprentice for the busy Christmas season, does Cornell realize what he’s been missing. Miss Pleasant Hill is a poor, Irish immigrant who moved to London after the death of her cobbler father in Ireland. When she isn’t trying to help raise her three, younger siblings, or toiling as a washerwoman, she assists her ailing stepmother as a seamstress. She always dreamed of something more, but soon realized it was pointless to wish upon stars. However, when she sees the sign in the shopkeeper’s window, she feels it’s the answer to her long-awaited prayers. Pleasant feels that this year, she can finally make a difference and give her family the holiday they had always been denied. But is a Christmas miracle even possible? Twelve Gifts by Christmas When Lady Philomena Wallace, the Countess of Lipscomb, receives a gift from a secret admirer, she has to imagine that it’s a lark. Why would a gentleman court a widow past the first blush of youth? It isn’t until a stranger from her past abruptly returns that she has to make a choice between a mysterious suitor - and a second chance at love. Julian Solomon never forgot Mena, the village girl from his younger days. He left for America to make his fortune, but now he’s back - only to find that he may just have a bit of competition for her affection. Determined to prove how much Mena means to him, Julian may just have to rely on a bit of Christmas spirit to not only win her hand – but her heart as well. Miss Pageant's Christmas Proposal Miss Emary Pageant is a diamond of the first water, one of the most popular debutantes of London society. She could have any man in England that she wanted, but only one appeals to her – the elusive bachelor that everyone is talking about. He would be her ultimate conquest, something to preen about for years to come. The only problem is that he thinks she’s just another empty-headed daughter of a viscount. And try as she might, she can’t convince him otherwise. Thankfully, she has always been quick witted, so she quickly conceives a plan. Donovan Wainwright, Duke of Windwood, is a physically and emotionally battle-scared war hero. He knows his duty to society the way he knew his duty to his country, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to fall prey to the first simpering lady who tries to gain his attention. While he might admit that Emary is appealing, she is far too vain for his tastes and he’s just not interested. It isn’t until Emary boldly offers him a proposal – which he foolishly accepts – that the tide abruptly turns. All at once, the woman Donovan wishes to avoid becomes the one he can’t live without.

But is love enough? “Lord Castleford’s Fortunate Folly” Sometimes fate needs the hand of fortune… Lord Jonathan Castleford wasn’t looking for romance on the road to Cornwall.

Miss Fanny Grouseman knows that she might never find love in her small village, but she is content. When she meets the infuriating guest of the village squire, everything changes.

Miss Sabrina Everhart is the companion of the Countess of Warably, but she feels like more of a servant. When she suddenly starts to receive the attentions of Viscount Rundell, she has to wonder what a plain, penniless lady possibly offer such a handsome bachelor?

I had so much fun putting together the last Regency amour collection, that I decided to do it again! Enjoy the following stories combining my love of history and romance, and of course, adventure and heart! A Tale of Two Brunettes Duet The Brunette Who Stole His Heart Faith Albright is a devoted ladies’ maid to her mistress, Lady Mercy, but when she’s tasked with taking her place to meet a man who is the lady’s intended, she isn’t sure it’s a wise choice. However, persuasion and loyalty are strong motivators, so she travels to London and encounters a man who is devilishly handsome and charming and sadly… never to be hers. Frederick Bartholomew is a valet who can’t deny his master’s request to step in for him—for just two weeks—while he has one last fling before marriage shackles him for life. While taking on the guise of the Viscount of Westbrook shouldn’t be too difficult, for he’s confident his perfidy won’t be discovered, Freddie meets Westbrook’s bride-to-be and instantly realizes he’s made a grave mistake, for the lady is everything he’s ever wanted… but can never have. In Love With a Charming Brunette Lady Mercy Granville never wanted to marry a man who was chosen for her. Why should she have to suffer a lifetime of unhappiness because of a vow she hadn’t even agreed upon? However, since she knows her duty to her family as a gently bred lady, she acquiesces to the match, but not without vowing to have a bit of fun first. She heads to Brighton to enjoy the last of her freedom, never knowing what awaits her there. Malcolm Grant, Viscount Westbrook, has always found marriage rather distasteful, but since he’s the sole heir, he has no illusions that his mother might cease going on about honoring some long ago pact that was made. He agrees to marry Lady Mercy…just not yet. Bedeviling Lord Coxford Lady Honoria Pratt has allowed her position as the daughter of the Duke of Ollington to rule her life—including her conscience. But when she meets Royce Ainsworth, Baron Coxford, a man who cares nothing for the ton and who is only in London to attend his best friend’s wedding, sparks begin to fly. A Captivating Compromise Miss Garnett Younghusband only wants one thing—and that is to live a contented life with her father and brothers working at their London chandlery. But when her younger siblings take it upon themselves to spend a wild night at Vauxhall, she decides to rein them in, only to find herself caught in a trap of her own making. As a gentleman, Mr. Rafe Pinehurst is honor bound to rescue the damsel in distress as scandal looms.

Miss Iona Richards wants one thing in life—to be an independent woman. Her dream is to become a highly reputable landscape architect and create masterpieces that will live on for generations. Thus, she dares to embark on an adventure, leaving her family behind to travel to Burnham-On-Sea where she joins the Seaside Society of Spinsters. The ladies at the boarding house are champions of ladies who wish to eschew the strictures placed upon society and will do their best to help her succeed in her goals.

When she finally gains the opportunity, she has no idea that her heart is the one in danger of change. Thorpe Covington, the Duke of Rosewood, finds more than just Miss Richards’ prints of his gardens to his liking. But he finds that this fierce, gently bred woman is more concerned with digging in the soil than marriage, and at first that seems like an ideal arrangement. But as their attraction begins to develop, he finds himself wanting more from the lady. Knowing that she would never give him anything but one night, he tells himself that is enough. The problem is that he could very well be wrong.
