A Song for the Duke at Christmas

By Allyson Jeleyne

Humiliated over a failed engagement, the Duke of Kilrannoch has retreated to his estate in the Scottish Highlands, determined to spend Christmas alone. When a family of traveling musicians lose their way and unexpectedly arrive on his doorstep, Lachlan must open his home to the cheerful lot.

Miss Henrietta Courtfield has spent her life on the road, spreading good cheer with her family. She secretly dreams of a home of her own and a wardrobe larger than a carpet bag, yet she never expects that the place she belongs is an isolated Scottish estate haunted by a heartbroken nobleman.

Can Lachlan give love another chance, or will this unlikely vagabond lady ride out of his life forever?
