Christmas Bride eBook
All of her life, Holly has dreamed of adventure and heroics. Indeed, she would far rather be a spy for the British against Napoleon, like her twin brother, Noel, than make her London debut. That is, until she meets Hunt, the handsome Marquess of Vandover. After a whirlwind courtship, they are married on Christmas Eve–Holly’s (and Noel’s) birthday. Holly is deeply in love, and her new husband’s career in the Foreign Office allows her to rub shoulders with diplomats and ambassadors, feeding her love of adventure. The future seems full of promise until her inept attempts to assist her husband in his career–and become a heroine in her own right–leads her to trust the wrong person. Suddenly Holly is plunged into a terrible conflict of loyalties, where she must choose between saving her nearly-broken marriage–and her beloved brother’s life!
Christmas Bride was the last of my traditional Regencies in the order I wrote them, published in 1993. This book is a prequel, of sorts, to my Saint of Seven Dials series, in that it introduces Noel Paxton, hero of Innocent Passions.

L. Walsh –
A Festive Delight.
Vivacious Holly longs for adventure and is disappointed when her twin refuses to take her with him on his spying mission. Instead she attends the Season, falls in love and marries a Marquess who works for the Foreign Office. Again she is disappointed when her spouse treats her like a child, when she just knows with her grasp of languages and ability to get people to talk to her that she could help him. When through her nosy questions she discovers that the Foreign Office has a traitor, she determines to undercover him herself and prove her worth. Unfortunately trusting the wrong individual, finds her being threatened and her marriage torn apart.
