Once upon a Winter's Eve

He thinks she's a maid. She thinks he's a penniless poet. ‘Tis the season for a misunderstanding!

Julian Knight cannot believe his luck. Spending a month with his literary hero is a dream come true, but when he starts the visit by mistaking the fellow’s daughter for the maid, Julian quickly discovers how easily a little mistake can ruin his plans.

But beneath that stern exterior, he discovers the lady isn’t quite so dour as she seems. Quite appealing, in fact. If only she would give him a chance…

Christmas is a difficult enough time, but when Angelica Callaghan is forced to entertain her father’s latest protégé, it quickly goes from bad to worse. Doubly so when the fellow keeps flirting with her! Angelica is no silly young miss to be beguiled by a few honeyed words from another poet-in-training who will end up living off his friends’ charity. Not ever again.

Romance is a fool’s game.

He wants a chance at love. She wants to be left alone. Can the warmth of the holiday season melt the ice between them?
