Once Upon A Christmas
Diane Farr
Home for the Holidays...
After a tragic loss, Celia Delacourt faces the daunting
prospect of a lonely life as a governess. ..or worse.
Then her distant cousin, the Duchess of Delacourt,
arrives on her doorstep, inviting her to spend
Christmas on the family estate. Celia suspects that the
reserved noblewoman has an ulterior motive up her
expensive sleeve, but nonetheless decides that
spending the holidays in a palace will surely surpass
spending them in the poorhouse. ...
Jack Delacourt knows his mother is plotting
something when he receives a strange-sounding
Christmas invitation that he recognizes as a thinly
veiled matchmaking ploy. But if his mother plans to
bully him into betrothal with a stranger, Jack is equally
prepared with a plan of his own. He meets his cousin
Celia with every intention of putting her off. But Celia
is not at all what he expected-and they may be about
to share the most wonderful Christmas gift of all. ...
