"Katherine Cartwright knows through bitter experience that true love is fiction and trust should not be bestowed easily. Now, after two unsuccessful London Seasons, her atrocious father has decided to marry her off to the highest bidder to pay for his gambling debts, ridding himself of the daughter he never wanted. A profitable deal is struck, and Kate is packed off to the home of her betrothed, an earl she has never met. Or so she believes. When James Fenwick, the new Earl of Bowcott, learns that the girl he's loved since childhood is being sold off like chattel, he's determined to step in and save her. He makes an offer her father cannot refuse and insists on a proper engagement. But when Kate meets James again, her old friend cannot bring himself to admit it is him whom she is to marry. Soon, an intricate charade and a past that cannot be escaped jeopardize James's chance at rekindling their friendship, to say nothing of winning Kate's heart. Can love truly conquer all, or was this a match doomed from the start?"--

She's in charge of the Christmas parade, and she has absolutely zero plans of cozying up to someone special this holiday season. No one would want her anyway. Not with her baggage.

Probably not."-- Back cover.

Christmas in Love

"The last thing Amelia Kennington wants is to participate in the London Season. But the daughter of a duke is not afforded such opinions. She must put forth a subdued facade, but beneath it is a well-hidden fire that surfaces only when provoked such as when an overly familiar gentleman startles her and she falls into the Serpentine. Edward Drayton, the Earl of Norwich, has gained a reputation as Society's most decorated rake. And while there are benefits to such a reputation, it no longer gives him the satisfaction it once did. This Season, he plans to find a wife except she seems to find him instead. And she is nothing like he expected"--adapted from back cover.
