Getting ready for the Holidays...

Hello Romance Readers,

As most of you know I recently moved to Texas. We are fortunate to be in a new home, but when we were house hunting I never considered where we would put up our Christmas tree. I've got most of the moving boxes unpacked but I'm a tad perplexed as to where I should put our tree this year.

If you celebrate Christmas - where do you put your tree?

Send me a pic, because I need real inspiration not the picture perfect ones you see over and over on social media.

In this friends-to-lovers Regency romance by Charlie Lane, an independent lady and a cautious earl must do the most daring thing of all—fall in love.

A daring lady.

A caring earl.

And a Christmas house party that turns love into a dangerous game.

The Earl of Abbington is not a daring man.

Responsible for the care of an opium-addicted uncle, George’s life poses dangers to a bride that he’ll never risk. It’s why he avoided the independent and kind Lady Jane last year, despite her brother’s request he protect her during her season. His neglect no doubt led to Jane’s tattered reputation. In reparation, he’s sent pre-approved suitors to the house party to ensure she marries well, not to a man whose life is a nightmare.

Lady Jane is done being daring.

Her daring spirit ruined her reputation, her family’s social standing, and her brother’s marital prospects. But a Christmas house party attended by a coterie of willing suitors can put everything right. Plain of face and ordinary of intellect, Jane knows she’ll never find love. And she doesn’t want it anyway. Love is the most daring thing a woman can do, after all. Instead, she’ll develop a system to test her suitors and discover the best husband for a practical sort of marriage.

Jane needs George’s help choosing a husband, but George soon realizes he can’t give it without betraying his own heart. Together, they must find the courage to face the dangers of love or lose the love of a lifetime.

The Marquess and Marchioness of Clydon request the pleasure of your company this December at their annual Christmas house party. Honored guests are invited to spend this Christmastide at Carcliffe Castle, where a suite of winter adventures and explorations will be enjoyed by all …

Harriet Pratt’s place on the shelf is becoming more firmly solidified with each passing season. When her longtime friend Madison invites her to spend Christmas in the country, it is the perfect excuse for Harriet to escape her mother’s disappointed glances. But she soon discovers that Carcliffe Castle is a place of mystery, where new adventures … and temptations … await around every corner.

When he arrives to spend the holidays with his longtime family friends, Leland Bowden, Viscount Bayfield, is looking forward to a quiet and contemplative retreat. But his hostess has different plans in mind, and before long Lee finds himself again and again in the presence of the beguiling Miss Pratt. It seems that the very walls of Carcliffe Castle are conspiring to throw them together. Before long, Lee begins to wonder if it is fate – or something headier – that is playing with their hearts.

A Very Viscount Christmas is a steamy special holiday addition to Cara Maxwell’s bestselling Hesitant Husbands series.

Lady Isabella Pennington’s life is mired in scandal, but not of her own making.

As London’s gentry bask in her heartache, she devises a plan to avoid another disastrous engagement. But those plans go awry as she struggles to forget the rogue Captain Nicholas years after the passionate afternoon they spent together.

Her intention to adhere to societal demands is admirable but short-lived when Nicholas shocks everyone by asking for her hand in marriage. What unfolds leaves Lady Isabella torn between societal expectations and her long-held desire.

Captain Nicholas is far from an aristocrat yet is held in high regard in some circles. With his attention focused on Lady Isabella, it’s all she can do to resist the handsome devil. Will a marriage of convenience be a means to a much-coveted end, or will it lead to another humiliating failure for Lady Isabella?

Sounds interesting. I'll grab it now.
