وصف الناشر
As the entire Malory family gathers at Haverston to celebrate the season, a mysterious present arrives anonymously. The gift is an old journal -- a tender and tempestuous account of the love affair between the second Marquis, Christopher Malory, and a dark gypsy beauty named Anastasia, who seeks a love match with a non-gypsy in order to save herself from a prearranged marriage to a brute. Though the dashing English lord Anastasia sets her sight upon burns for the exquisite, exotic miss, Christopher could never consent to wed such a lowborn lady. But miracles have been known to happen in this season of peace and giving and love, as two extraordinary people seperated by cicumstance of birth begin a passionate dance of will and wiles. And in the miraculous blossoming of a glorious romance at a long ago Christmastime, there are wise and well-learned lessons that will enrich the hearts of the Malory descendants -- and, indeed, of everyone who has ever dreamed.

Good quick read
I enjoyed the rich history of the Malory family. I read most of the books years ago and am in the middle of re-reading them...and enjoying every one.
Exceptional
It was great to finally hearing the beginning of the entire Mallory family. Great to know that love was the beginning of whatever else happened in that family, and that social and society influences and norms did not matter. Thank
you J. L. for writing about the beginning of the Malory family.
Storytelling at its finest
Another example of an excellent story by one of the best storytellers. Would recommend this book and all her other titles.
