Great Scot! by Suzanne Enoch
Miss
Jane Bansil knows she will never have a fairy-tale moment. Well past
the marriageable age, she’s taken a
position as a companion and is now stuck in Scotland for Christmas,
alone even in the middle of the boisterous MacTaggert family. But when
Brennan Andrews, an architect and cousin to the MacTaggerts, arrives to
draw up plans for a new family home, Jane must
decide if she will take a chance at a happily-ever-after, or settle
into her small, safe life for good.
Christmas at Dewberry Hollow by Amelia Grey
Miss
Isabelle Reed has no plans to ever fall in love. She has a perfectly
acceptable life with her mother at
the Dewberry Hollow Inn, thank you very much. But when Gate, the Duke
of Notsgrave’s grandson, appears at Dewberry Hollow searching for a
carving on a tree, Isabelle cannot help but get involved. But Gate’s
charm and their instant attraction makes Isabelle
question if she’s willing to take her chance at love once again.
My Mistletoe Beau by Anna Bennett
Miss
Eva Tiding is determined to cheer her widowed father with the perfect
Christmas gift. Even if it means breaking
into the home of the rakish Earl of Frostbough who swindled Papa out of
his pocket watch. But when the earl, Jack Hardwick, catches her in the
act, they strike a deal: she’ll pose as his fiancée in exchange for the
watch. Falling in love is
not part of the plan—but with a little Christmas magic, anything is possible…

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

She has written more than forty Regency novels and historical romances, which are regularly found on the New York Times bestseller list. When she is not busily working on her next book, Suzanne likes to contemplate interesting phenomena, like how the three guppies in her aquarium became 161 guppies in five months.
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author AMELIA GREY read her first romance book when she was thirteen and she’s been a devoted reader of love stories ever since. Her awards include the Booksellers Best, Aspen Gold, and the Golden Quill. Writing as Gloria Dale Skinner, she won the coveted Romantic Times Award for Love and Laughter and the prestigious Maggie Award.

She’s been happily married to her high school sweetheart for over thirty-five years and she lives on the beautiful gulf coast of Northwest Florida.
ANNA BENNETT started swiping romances from her mom’s bookshelf as a teenager and decided that books with balls, dukes, and gowns were the best. So, when she had the chance to spend a semester in London she packed her bags—and promptly fell in love with the city, its history, and its pubs. She dreamed of writing romance, but somehow ended up a software analyst instead. Fortunately, a few years and a few careers later, Anna found her way back to writing the stories she loves and won the Romance Writers of America’s Golden Heart®. She lives in Maryland with her husband and three children, who try valiantly not to roll their eyes whenever she quotes Jane Austen.
