Publisher Description
"Readers will easily fall for Sophie and Ned in their gaslit surroundings." -Library Journal, starred review
A Courtship of Convenience
Sophie Appersett is quite willing to marry outside of her class to ensure the survival of her family. But the darkly handsome Mr. Edward Sharpe is no run of the mill London merchant. He's grim and silent. A man of little emotion—or perhaps no emotion at all. After two months of courtship, she's ready to put an end to things.
A Last Chance for Love
But severing ties with her taciturn suitor isn't as straightforward as Sophie envisioned. Her parents are outraged. And then there's Charles Darwin, Prince Albert, and that dratted gaslight. What's a girl to do except invite Mr. Sharpe to Appersett House for Christmas and give him one more chance to win her? Only this time there'll be no false formality. This time they'll get to know each other for who they really are.

Fabulous
Loved Sophie and Ned from the start.
Perfect Christmas Read
Christmas is my favorite time of the year, and when I saw the cover to A Holiday by Gaslight, I melted. This novella is like cozying up in front of the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa. It wraps your heart with warmth and leaves you with a feel-good feeling. Indeed, a delectable Christmas treat for all.
