From four beloved writers—Eloisa James, Christi Caldwell, Janna MacGregor, and Erica Ridley—come four original stories that tell a hilarious tale of a Christmas house party that serves up love and scandal in equal measure! The Duke of Greystoke’s Christmas Revelry is famous throughout the British Isles for its plays, dancing, magical grotto… not to mention scandals leading to the marriage licenses he hands out like confetti. But not everyone welcomes a visit from Cupid. Lady Cressida, the duke’s daughter, is too busy managing the entertainments—and besides, her own father has called her dowdy. Her cousin, Lady Isabelle Wilkshire, is directing Cinderella and has no interest in marriage. Lady Caroline Whitmore is already (unhappily) married; the fact that she and her estranged husband have to pretend to be together just makes her dread the party all the more. But not as much as Miss Louisa Harcourt, whose mother bluntly tells her that this is her last chance to escape the horrors of being an old maid. A house party so large that mothers lose track of their charges leads to a delightful, seductive quartet of stories that you will savor for the Season!

Lord Wroxton’s plans to be home for Christmas are overset at Gretna Green, where he finds himself the rescuer of an eloping miss who’s changed her mind. Louisa Davenport, charming if willful, means well, but has this tendency to rescue dogs, carter’s boys and the like. Charles is by turns frustrated and enchanted—a heady mix for this budding politician. Regency Romance by Patricia Wynn; originally published by Harlequin

A Christmas Elf? It happened to Josh Larkland every year. He'd be happily running his multimillion-dollar company, when the whole world would just go…nuts. It meant only one thing…Christmas! Not that Josh really minded Christmas—he liked his family, he just didn't know them very well. People kept inviting him to parties. Sometimes they had too much eggnog and gathered around the piano and…sang. This year his mother insisted on a personal present for everyone! The solution was to get his very own Christmas elf—Amanda of A&B Executive Services. Amanda shopped, she arranged parties…she made the holiday season magical. The mischief, however, began when Josh kissed her under the mistletoe…and wanted more—a lot more. Was it just Christmas spirit, or would his feelings last?
