Guilt haunts him as he sees the strain his long convalescence has had upon his parents. As they spend Christmastide with the Belmoores, he wants to help fulfill his mother’s wish to have her orphaned niece come to stay with them.
However, an enemy has infiltrated the family party, bent on revenge and determined that Twelfth Night will end in someone’s death …

The Spinster’s Christmas
Finally a book that tells a realistic story with realistic characters and situations. I have been starving for a book like this for years. Here is an author who isn’t afraid to let her readers use their imagination to color in the characters and I thank you! Thank you for not over describing your characters and for not being repetitive just to fill the pages! I read the preview of Lady Wynwood Spy The Archer I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Thou God sees me.
What had they all fought for when there was still such injustice at home?
Captain Gerard Foremont of the Royal Navy had been injured in a battle and was now recuperating at home, after a lengthy stay in the hospital. Thinking to enjoy the Christmas time, he joins family and friends at Wintrell Hall. What he discovers makes him wonder why he went to war….
The heroine of this lovely Regency tale is Miranda, a servant who is not a servant. The injustice of the British class system is alive and well in 1810. If you are a poor relative, you cannot expect anything more than a roof over your head. The author very lovingly shows us the importance of not only being seen by others but more importantly by God. He knows us all and wants only the best for us.
This is the beginning of the Lady Wynwood’s Spies series. A most enjoyable, laugh out loud at times and thought provoking series.
