He gambles for a ticket to the ball, but might win the love of his life. When the impoverished Prussian baron came to London, little did he expect to entangle with an irritatingly beautiful Russian spy with shared targets: the wealthy hosts of a grand charity ball. While everyone is distracted with holiday preparations, can they fool the other guests by pretending to be a couple? Will they both achieve their objectives despite a series of unfortunate events before their time in London runs out? A story of espionage, strategy, and distracting kisses under the mistletoe for a holiday season like no other.


High society's rules make it impossible to meet. Is their love doomed to remain a scandalous secret? She is his perfect woman in every way except social standing. While Cameron is determined to find someone to formally introduce them before they are forced apart for the holidays, Isabelle scrambles to find an honorable solution for their hidden romance. With Christmas quickly approaching, will they finally begin their public courtship during the most wonderful time of the year or will duty stand in their way? A tale of etiquette, expectations, and enduring passion.


A young woman forging a career as a bareknuckled boxer. A footman looking for something more … and an overturned platter at the event of the year. Ruby knows that a career as a fighter will be harder for her than it was for her father—or at least, the man she believes is her father. As she is about to wrangle an introduction, a clumsy footman spills his tray, effectively ending her night. But the Max is determined to help her career as recompense for spilling his tray on her—and maybe see if this young lady boxer might be interested in spending a Sunday afternoon or two with him as well.


Will her secret stand in the way of their second chance at love? For years widowed artist Lily has hidden herself away, because of a scandalous secret in her past. When her niece persuades her to come to London, she reluctantly agrees, only to find herself wooed by Alastair, a man she once promised to marry, but cruelly discarded. Lily’s instinct is to flee, even when her heart implores her to stay. But it soon will be Christmas, the season of joy and forgiveness, and if she stays, the magic of the Mistletoe Ball just might lead to a second chance at love.


He's her brother's best friend, and he wants her for Christmas. Widowed Bryony is auctioning off the last vestiges of her old life—paintings her dead husband commissioned for his mistress. What should be a simple task takes an unexpected turn when Captain Nathaniel Davies, a retired naval officer and her brother's best friend, dares Bryony to explore her newfound freedom and join him on a holiday adventure across London. But will one scandalous evening end with a lump of coal... or will Christmas magic create a merry match of love?


What’s an earl to do when his sister’s best friend becomes the one temptation he can’t resist? When Nicholas, the cold and duty-driven Earl of Chatteris, is unexpectedly kissed beneath the mistletoe at a charity ball by Pippa, his entire world is thrown into chaos. Even worse, the moment their lips part, she acts as if it never happened! Can Nicholas pretend along, or will his legendary restraint finally snap this Christmas season? ★

Great Collection

This is an entertaining collection of holiday stories connected by the Grand Mistletoe Assembly, the annual Pearler Charity Ball. There are six novellas with interesting characters, a ball with dancing, lots of mistletoe to inspire kisses, and romance. It’s not all sunshine and mistletoe, but each story has a happy ending.

Miracle on St James Street by Nina Jarrett
When Cameron attends the Grand Mistletoe Assembly, he feels lost. That is until her sees a lady reading a book (secretly). He wants a formal introduction, but cannot find anyone he knows to do the honors. It takes a week, but he is finally introduced to Isabelle, the Earl of Saunton’s half-sister. This is a fun story with just a little angst. Things smooth out when they talk and find they have much in common. A cute story and a nice addition to the Inconvenient Brides series.

Isabelle and Cameron
Cameron was dragged to a ball, and abandoned by his good friend Brendan Ridley. He noticed a lovely young lady surreptitiously reading a book, and after a clandestine conversation, he tried to figure out a way to gain a formal introduction. For a week their best laid plans were thwarted until a prayed for miracle ocurred. I loved it and it really is a sweet story! And….as a special bonus, it is part of the Inconvenient Bride series, which I just adore!

A Daring Mistletoe Kiss by Tanya Wilde
Pippa lived with her best friend Nancy, and Nancy’s brother, Nicholas, Earl of Chatteris. She is almost twenty, Pippa decides to get her first kiss at the Grand Mistletoe Assembly. She planned to kiss Lord Dare, a well-known rake. For some reason, she kissed Nicholas. What happens now? Maybe Pippa and Nicholas are meant to be together. A story full of fun.

Lily's Scandalous Secret by Pamela Gibson
Lily and Alastair were young and in love, but their fathers kept them apart. Her father married her off to cover his debts. They meet again years later and he asks her to attend the Grand Mistletoe Assembly. Both are widowed and Alastair hopes this will be their second chance. A lovely emotional second chance story.

Surprising Captain Davies by Jemma Frost
Bryony and Nathaniel are widowed. They knew each other when they were younger and meeting at the Grand Mistletoe Assembly might give them a second chance to be together. A new beginning and a happy ending at last.

The Footman's Mistake by Edie Cay
Ruby Jackson is a female boxer who comes to the Grand Mistletoe Assembly to gain connections to help her career. Max is one of Pearler’s footmen. He followed her career, made money on her bouts which he used to start a new living. An unconventional couple finds a happy ending.

Captured at the Ball by Sara Adrien
Wolfgang, a baron and Sophia, a frustrated dancer find themselves scheming to ruin the Pearlers and “bring down” the Jews in London. Their plans hit a hitch when they fall for each other.
I received an ARC of this book via BookSprout and voluntarily reviewed it.
