Two cousins, as close as sisters, make a vow one magical Christmas Eve night—to find their perfect loves. Now, on another Christmas years later, will that promise come true? Lady Amelia Brightley hides a dark secret about her supposedly glittering marriage—it was an abusive sham. Now a young widow, she's determined to claim back her life and find her joy again. The first step is to attend the famous Duke of Trevallen's Christmas Ball—and act on the feelings she has had for the handsome duke for too long....
Author
aka Laurel McKee (Amanda Carmack) Amanda wrote her first romance at the age of sixteen—a vast historical epic starring all her friends as the characters, written secretly during algebra class (and her parents wondered why math was not her strongest subject...) She's never since used algebra, but her books have been nominated for many awards, including the RITA Award, the Romantic Times BOOKReviews Reviewers' Choice Award, the Booksellers Best, the National Readers Choice Award, and the Holt Medallion. She lives in Oklahoma with a menagerie of two cats, a Pug, and a very bossy miniature Poodle, along with far too many books. When not writing or reading, she loves taking dance classes, collecting cheesy travel souvenirs, and watching the Food Network—even though she doesn't cook.
