Anthony Beck, Viscount Redgrave, has always done what was expected of his title and station. Ever the dutiful son, he abides by his mother’s requests even when they tend to be ridiculous. There is no other reason, after all, that he would be carrying around a piece of dead mistletoe that should rejuvenate itself once he is on the path of true love. Luckily, he happens upon the one lady he’s always wanted to court. Unfortunately, she’s in love with her guardian. Miss Holly Prescott is not in love with her guardian. It is her duty, however, to make certain that nefarious young ladies with hopes of becoming his duchess, don’t trap him into a loveless marriage. While attending the Christmas Eve weddings at Castle Keyvnor, Holly learns that the nearby Romani could be of help in that regard. However, she did not expect to stumble upon the handsome and oh-so-honorable Lord Redgrave in the process.

An American pacifist and an English earl wage a war of seduction in this Christmas Regency romance by the bestselling author of the Clan Kendrick series. Blame It On The Mistletoe. . . When Major Lucas Stanton inherited his earldom, he never dreamed his property would include the previous earl's granddaughter. Phoebe Linville is a sparkling American beauty, yes, but with a talent for getting into trouble. Witness the compromising position that forced them into wedlock.

His kisses and unexpected warmth are enticing, but Phoebe is determined to show the earl of Merritt what real love is all about. And if that takes twelve nights of delicious seduction by a roaring fire, she's more than willing to reveal her gifts very slowly… “Wildly sexy and romantic…will warm your heart and send you straight to the mistletoe!”—Kieran Kramer, USA Today–bestselling author of the House of Brady series “Kelly…combines wit, innocent sensuality, and seduction in this tale of a forced marriage between a beautiful plain-speaking pacifist Quaker and a handsome war hero who inherits a rundown earldom.”—Publishers Weekly “[An] emotionally intense and beautifully crafted novel.”—RT Book Reviews

“A writer to treasure.” —Sabrina Jeffries, New York Times bestselling author When a husband is needed by Christmas, a trusted slender volume for ensuring a merry match is indeed a gift! In this Regency delight from beloved, award-winning author Kate Moore, a spirited governess joins a gentleman spy on a daring mission: finding a mate for a jilted debutante—while drawing dangerously close to each other . . . Behind her seemingly dependent role as an unpaid caretaker—of both children and dogs—Harriet Swanley has in fact astutely avoided a forced marriage. But hers is not the only secret under wraps: Charles Davenham is working covertly to unmask a Russian agent—until the younger sister he’s always protected comes to him, recently rejected and clutching The Husband Hunter’s Guide to London. The little handbook would be a godsend—if only the distraught girl didn’t mangle all of its good advice! If Harriet can help Charles find a love match for his sibling, perhaps, in this season of good tidings, a long-buried attraction can set their own hearts aflame . . . Praise for The Husband Hunter’s Guide to London “Appealing protagonists and a slow simmering romance.
