Mistletoe Christmas: An Anthology [9780063139695]

Overview

From
four beloved writers—Eloisa James, Christi Caldwell, Janna MacGregor, and Erica
Ridley—come four original stories that tell a hilarious tale of a Christmas house party that serves up love
and scandal in equal measure!

The
Duke of Greystoke’s Christmas Revelry is famous throughout the British Isles
for its plays, dancing, magical grotto… not to mention scandals leading to the
marriage licenses he hands out like confetti.

But
not everyone welcomes a visit from Cupid.

Lady
Cressida, the duke’s daughter, is too busy managing the entertainments—and
besides, her own father has called her dowdy. Her cousin, Lady Isabelle
Wilkshire, is directing Cinderella and has no interest in marriage. Lady
Caroline Whitmore is already (unhappily) married; the fact that she and her
estranged husband have to pretend to be together just makes her dread the party
all the more.  But not as much as Miss Louisa Harcourt, whose mother
bluntly tells her that this is her last chance to escape the horrors of being
an old maid.

A
house party so large that mothers lose track of their charges leads to a
delightful, seductive quartet of stories that you will savor for the Season!
