Celebrate! These five delightful Christmas stories are filled with Mary Jo Putney’s three favorite things — tradition, lots of emotion, and a guaranteed happy ending.
Four classic historical novellas plus Mary Jo's only contemporary novella are included in this cherished collection.
"Sunshine for Christmas" follows a lonely young aristocrat to Italy for the holidays, where he finds something even more precious than sunshine. (The hero, Lord Randolph Lennox, was a secondary character in the RITA winning novel, The Rake.)
"The Christmas Cuckoo" features level-headed young Meg who goes to the local coaching inn and comes home with the wrong Jack Howard. And like a true cuckoo in the nest, Jack doesn't want to leave!
"The Christmas Tart" is the tale of Nicole, a young Frenchwoman down on her luck in London, whose stark choice for survival gives her--and her kitten!--a new chance for happiness.
"The Black Beast of Belleterre" is a Beauty and the Beast Victorian tale of a beautiful young artist and the husband who believes he cannot be loved. Of course he's wrong!
In "A Holiday Fling", a British actress and a Hollywood cameraman team up to film a Christmas show for a good cause. Anything that happens between them will be a strictly temporary holiday fling—or might it be more?
