Shy Louisa Harcourt longs for one truly happy Christmas. Ideally involving lazy evenings curled before a fire with a good book… or her own poetry. Instead, she’s whisked to a house party as bait for sharks. To secure her uncertain future, an eligible suitor must propose before Twelfth Night. The clock is ticking. Charming, complicated, utterly non-eligible Ewan Reid crashes the duke’s holiday party, concealing an ulterior motive that must not involve falling for Louisa. Armed with nothing more than a plume and an irresistibly brooding glare, Ewan hides a dark secret that could spoil his one chance for true love… **This holiday regency romance has been lightly edited for clarity but is otherwise the same story that appeared in the Mistletoe Christmas anthology.
