At the Christmas Wedding is a collection of festive novellas by three of the biggest names in historical romance – Caroline Linden, Maya Rodale and Katharine Ashe. As with their previous anthology, At the Duke’s Wedding, the individual stories take place concurrently, this time at and around Kingstag Castle in Dorset, the site of a…
In the conclusion of Ms. Chase’s popular Shaughnessy Brothers series about a sprawling band of siblings, attention turns to the only girl in the bunch. Darcy was raised in a world of all men after losing her mother at a young age and certainly bears the scars to prove it. At times both recalcitrant and…
Christmas at Little Beach Street Bakery is the third in the delectable series of books about Polly Waterford and her charming shop in the quaint village of Mount Polbearne. The whole saga – including this entry – is satisfyingly sweet and engagingly eccentric, which makes this instalment a delightful addition to any holiday reading plans….
Virginia Heath’s winning streak of rich, thoughtful romances continues with her latest release, His Mistletoe Wager. This holiday story is an early gift for readers and the season’s joy fills every moment as a young woman’s damaged heart is healed by the kind of man she swore never to trust again.

She’s captured the minds and hearts of romance readers over a number of years, and can always be counted on to provide a happy ending for her characters. The Heartbreaker…
