Sugarplum Surprises Seasonal Sweets When her father the baron died, Jane Nichol thought she had lost every chance at happiness-and her newly widowed stepmother's plans for Jane made things frightfully worse . Now, having escaped the baroness's clutches by running away, Jane lives a double life. By day, she powders and pads herself into the form of middle- aged Madame Nicolette, making her living as the town's best seamstress. By night, she sheds the costume and becomes herself once again, the lovely Jane Nichol. So it is that her life's path crosses with that of a young duke, who also bears the weight of a great secret. For Jane and the duke, the Christmas season holds many surprises-surprises as lucky and unexpected as silver trinkets in a Yuletide plum pudding. But with rumors rippling in their wake, and secrets neither will divulge flfSt, the two wonder if they can ever have their cake and eat it, too
