Mischief for Christmas

Description

Amelia Talbot was resigned to the idea of serving as a companion to the horrid Lady Brenton for the rest of her life. Her family’s ruin won’t allow her to dream of anything beyond that, but in the rare moments that she has to herself, Amelia nurtures a hope that life will hold more for her than the cards that have been dealt.

Ren Wynters was set on dutifully fulfilling his responsibilities as the oldest son and heir, caring for his mother and his two errant brothers, while frequently sacrificing his own desires in exchange for theirs. He cannot help but feel trapped in his circumstances, and wishes life held something more for him.

When an unexpected winter storm delays his plans, and a cunningly planned house party changes hers, Ren and Amelia are brought together, the two finding an easy friendship with one another. As feelings of friendship turn to something more during the Christmas season, they not only find themselves forgetting their troubles, but also experience the joy that can be found in realizing that the best gift of all is finding someone who brings out the best in you, and loves you for who you are.

“I fell in love with you my dear, for there was mischief in your beautiful eyes. Tis nothing wrong with a little bit of mischief.”
