Father Christmas and Christmas Wishes
by Barbara Metzger
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 heir—and 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 child—or 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 relation—until a crisis sends her packing. But the road to London is not easy—and she must take shelter in a stable with a handsome, scowling stranger, also in a predicament. He could take advantage of the situation—but 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
