A Christmas Kiss and Winter Wonderland
by Elizabeth Mansfield

A Christmas Kiss (originally published as "Unexpected Holiday", writing as Libby Mansfield and then reissued as A Christmas Kiss in December 1990)
Disgrace turned into dazzling opportunity for Miss Evalyn Pennington. When she lost her post as governess on false charges, this spirited young lady found an ally in James Everard, heir to an earldom, who invited her to stay at his father's country estate until she found a new position. But he could not have guessed that he'd brought home the one woman who could stir love in the heart of his remote father, the Earl of Gyllford—or that his father would misunderstand his interest in the charming young woman.

Winter Wonderland (originally published in November 1993)
One stinging rejection was enough to chill Barnaby's heart to love. It had been the most humiliating encounter of his life when Miranda Pardew had haughtily rejected his shy request for a dance. Since then, Barnaby vowed that no woman would make a fool of him again. Ten years have passed since that encounter, but it seems like yesterday when Miranda comes into his life once more. Still a stunning beauty, time and circumstance have left her poor, alone and in need of employment. When she's hired as a governess for his brother's children, Barnaby must conconcile his painful memories...and his desire. Amidst the warmth and merriment of the Christmas season, Miranda's return might be a curse...or a blessing.
