About this ebook
". . . this whole story had me on the edge of my seat." ~Stephanie Porter, Reviewer
A Case of Mistaken Identity . . . a Christmas Eve to Remember: The Wise Virgin by Jo Beverley
It was quite daring of Edmund de Grave to rescue Lady Nicolette de Montelan before her father found out she was pregnant with an enemy family's child. Unfortunately, he kidnapped the wrong woman when Nicolette's cousin, Joan, took Nicolettes place as the Blessed Virgin in the Christmas re-enactment—a last minute change that seemed fitting given her "condition".
Now, Lady Joan finds herself trapped in a cave on Christmas Eve with the great Edmund de Grave and neither are very happy about it. He's fuming because his plan was spoiled and worrying about his brother, now in enemy hands. She's perturbed that a man she thought a hero is the type to get a lady "with child" outside of marriage.
There's a battle brewing as the fires of ancient hatreds are stoked and the true spirit of Christmas is about to be tested.
From the Publisher: Fans of Jo Beverley will recognize this story as one of her early works previously published as part of an anthology. Readers with a passion for history will enjoy the author's penchant for detail and accuracy. Fans of Elizabeth Chadwick, Bernard Cornwell and Philippa Gregory as well as Tamara Leigh and Suzan Tisdale will delight in this medieval romance.
"So sensual in such a short story, it was a pure Beverley delight." ~Marilyn Rondeau, Reviewer
