Смогут ли эти красавица и чудовище найти рождественское счастье?
Two Christmas Regency romances that bring together a pair of enigmatic heroes and heroines... plus an entirely adorable baby! 'The Governess' Secret Baby' by Rachel Hawthorne is a delightful Christmas romance that sees the charismatic Nathaniel Quentin, Marquis of Ravenwell, hired as governess to his estranged niece and ward, the precocious Clara Bourcier. Nathaniel is a creature of scandal, a survivor of the notorious castle siege on Lesbos, and a war criminal, something that will doom any woman - much less a young girl - brave enough to care for him. Yet Clara turns out to have a talent for understanding past tragedies and judging a person by their true nature, not their surface appearance. The romance between the two develops sweetly, and as Colin Fox's ever-witty portrait of Nathaniel unfolds, readers may find themselves temporarily transported back to the turbulent days of Lesbos and their eventual resolution in Symhoullion House Hotel - now reimagined as a family home on the Nooitgedacht Valley estate. To anyone in desperate need of a Christmas gem enjoyed without guilt or judgement, this is the book to pick. Jon Butler takes us on another magical romantic journey with the opening chapter of his irreverent and deeply engaging 'Under the Mistletoe', Hayley Silvestre, prisoner of her mean stepmother who has just been dumped by the man she loves. Thankfully, dr George Frederick Earleshaw arrives on the scene with an offer of work - the job of governess at his fellow countrywoman Isabel Morton's house here in London - and while it looks like a straightforward piece of employment, Hayley will soon discover that life in the sprightly household is far from boring. Here we meet Aunt Agnes, a complicated character with a sinister secret, Isabel, a pianist whose striking voice impresses Isabella, perhaps the most beautiful girl Burton has ever met, as well as Isabella's spare host William. A twist is thrown into the mix when Hayley finds herself desperately in need of medical treatment for one of her own, and if things couldn't get stranger - she'd been hired to visit the love of her life...
