Mischief & Mistletoe

This Christmas, the love they almost lost may be the miracle they've been waiting for.

Lucien Morgen, the brooding fifth Duke of Willyngham, knows he can never be the man Emma Peters deserves. Bound by duty, guilt, and a past he cannot escape, he believes ending their long engagement is the only way to protect her.

What Lucien never expected was Emma—no longer the quiet girl he once took for granted, but a confident, luminous woman who awakens everything he fought to bury.

As Christmas approaches, family, fate, and a touch of holiday mischief conspire to place them together once more. With old wounds laid bare, stolen kisses beneath the mistletoe, and hearts pushed toward truth, Lucien and Emma must decide if love is worth the risk—and whether the greatest gift of all is the one they nearly gave up.

A tender, emotionally rich Victorian Christmas romance of forgiveness, second chances, and love rediscovered, set in 1838.
