England 1771: BEATRICE HARTLEY, daughter to BARON BENTON, is in love and with child… yet not married. Nor does it seem likely she shall ever be, for the gentleman whom she granted not only her heart in a moment of foolish passion refuses to make her his wife. Shamed and heartbroken, Beatrice confides in her parents, who see only one solution to this most scandalous dilemma: an arranged match to save face. All hopes of love now seem dashed… … until a gallant knight appears out of nowhere. CHARLES BEAUMONT, LORD HAWTHORNE, eldest son to LORD and LADY WHICKERTON, finds himself struck by cupid’s arrow quite unexpectedly upon his return to England. At a ball, he spies a young lady in tears, and his heart goes out to her. Yet the Whickertons are sworn to only marry for love. After all, it is a family tradition. But what if Charles’s chosen bride longs for another? Is all hope lost? Of course not. It never is. Especially not when it concerns the Whickertons. This book was previously published in the holiday anthology Christmas Belles.
