Father Christmas A war hero's widow, Graceanne still has her darling,
three-year-old twin boys to love. Then the Duke of Ware
simply decides to help himself to one of her children.
After all, the Duke reasons, he needs an heirand she
has a boy to spare. Graceanne will fight him with all her
might. But it is Christmas, after all, and 'tis the season
of forgiveness. The gentleman is indeed a charming rake,
but there's no chance this mother will allow him her
childor her heart, though she has a sneaking
suspicion that he's conspiring for both...
"Metzger's prose absolutely tickles the funny bone."
L.A. Life Daily News Christmas Wishes Although she was born into the ancien regime,
Juneclaire Beaumont now lives as a poor relationuntil
a crisis sends her packing. But the road to London is not
easyand she must take shelter in a stable with a
handsome, scowling stranger, also in a predicament. He
could take advantage of the situationbut behaves as a
gentleman. The ton, however, would never believe the
rakish Earl of St. Cloud could act the nobleman for a
moment, let alone a whole night. But he will prove them
wrong: after Juneclaire slips out of town, the Earl will
spend the twelve days of Christmas on a neck-or-nothing
ride to find her... "Metzger's voice is always fresh...with wit and
inimitable style." Literary Times
