Regency Christmas Wishes
Sandra Heath, Emma Jensen, Carla Kelly, Edith Layton, Barbara Metzger
The perfect stocking stuffer for a Regency fan!
Celebrate the joys of Yule in Regency England with five new
stories by some of the most beloved Regency authors of all
time. Ringing in the season with fireside warmth, holiday
wishes, and Yuletide romance, these stories capture the
essence of Christmas. Sandra Heath’s “Merry Magpie”—a bird as noisy as
he
is nosy—has a bad habit of screeching uncomely secrets,
turning his masters against each other. But Christmas has a
way of warming hearts, even those of the feathered
persuasion…
The memory of one kiss from an elfin girl is enough to warm
an Irish sailor for many chilly nights. Now home for
Christmas, he’ll do whatever it takes to get his love—now
prim and staid—under the mistletoe, in Emma
Jensen’s “Following Yonder Star.” A confirmed bachelor cannot forgive himself for a long-ago
sin—that is, until his niece’s governess teaches him a
thing or two about Christmas in Carla Kelly’s “Let
Nothing You Dismay.” In Edith Layton’s “Best Wishes”, a pair of newlyweds
discover—during their first quarrel over Christmas plans—
that making up is indeed the best part.
A down-at-the-heels benefactor finds that a single penny—
his last—is worth more than riches when it brings him face-
to-face with a breathtakingly beautiful Christmas angel, in
“The Lucky Coin” by Barbara Metzger. *previously published October 2003
