When plotting mistletoe mischief, always check for lurking gentlemen—especially the tall, dark, and brooding kind. It was supposed to be a simple holiday mission: whisk away heartbroken Jane and ailing Charlotte to London's glittering festivities for some much-needed Christmas cheer. But as I, Elizabeth Bennet, quickly learned, nothing's ever simple when a certain gentleman is involved. For starters, there is Mr. Darcy, always appearing at the most inopportune moments—like under the very mistletoe branch I had my sights on! Between plum pudding, party mishaps, and an uncanny ability to be exactly where I don't want him, Mr. Darcy might just be the biggest holiday hurdle. It is just my luck that he happens to be a dazzling kisser. Will we find joy, love, and a few stolen kisses amidst the yuletide chaos? Or will I have to pen another guide titled, 'How to Keep Stubborn Gentlemen From Stealing Your Heart'? Join me in a festive frolic where hearts, hopes, and mistletoe hang in the balance.

A vulnerable moment breaks down barriers, turning enemies into allies... and maybe even something more. Margaret Hale is broken with grief. Still mourning her mother's death, she is also weighed down by fear for her brother Frederick, who is living in exile, and her father's unstable health. But topping all her concerns is handsome mill owner John Thornton, whose rash marriage proposal she had rejected before even considering. Not that there is any point in thinking of him now. He wouldn't have anything to do with her, even if she were the last woman in the world. John Thornton is a man of heavy responsibilities who has many things on his mind. His business has suffered one setback after another, and everyone is counting on him to make things right. But the most troublesome of all his problems is Margaret Hale. She wants nothing to do with him, and he wishes he could feel the same. But a chance encounter when he is most in need of a friend might just shatter the misunderstandings that have kept them apart. Is something so simple as friendship even possible after all that has passed between them? When John is offered a chance to save his mill, at the cost of his growing friendship with Margaret, will he act according to duty? Or will he take a chance on love?

What began as a last-chance goodbye becomes the future she never dreamed possible. John Thornton is facing the collapse of everything he has worked for all of his life. The only woman he ever loved has gone to London and forgotten all about him. Aching for what he lost, he doesn't have time to grieve because his cotton mill is on the brink of financial collapse. Through his banker, he hears about a business opportunity that could save the mill. His only hope is to investigate, even if it means traveling to Spain when he can least afford it. Margaret Hale is haunted by regret. Both her parents have died, and she has thrown away her only chance at love. She longs for what might have been, and wishes more than anything for one more chance to see John Thornton. Margaret is surprised by a letter from her godfather Mr Bell, who is visiting her brother Frederick in Cadiz, Spain. Bell is dying and asking to see her before it is too late. For a chance to set something right, Margaret is determined to sailregardless of the risk. An accident on the docks leaves Margaret injured, and throws them together on the same ship. John, resolved to protect Margaret's honour despite their painful history, claims to be her brother to keep her safe. Unfortunately, pretending to be Margaret's brother proves more difficult—and more dangerous—than he ever could have imagined. No Such Thing as Luck is a fade-to-black Victorian Romance featuring the characters from Elizabeth Gaskell's beloved North & South.
