    About this series

    A babe in a manger once saved the world. Can this one save a failing marriage? Lydia Blakeburn, Baroness Lynham, wants nothing more than to present her husband with an heir, but after five years of marriage, she has all but given up on doing so. What started as a love match has since begun to sour, yet there is nothing Lydia can do to free Miles from a marriage she is certain he regrets. The future they had envisioned together is slipping farther and farther away. Miles Blakeburn is at his wit's end. Not only has he failed to produce an heir to the family's ancient title, his wife has withdrawn from him entirely. The one thing in the world she wants, he has thus far been unable to give her: a child. He is a failure in every regard. When they happen upon an abandoned baby at the Frost Fair, Miles simply can't resist the light he sees sparked in his wife's eyes as she holds the child. He agrees to take the foundling in until Christmastide is over, when they will find the babe a permanent home. But, for a couple who's been yearning for a baby for years, the infant can't help but expose all the feelings Lydia and Miles have long been trying to bury, feelings that have the power to bring them back together—or estrange them forever. *This book deals with the topic of infertility, which can be triggering for some Five Christmas romances and the Frost Fair that started them all. This is the fifth book in the clean and sweet Regency romance Belles of Christmas: Frost Fair series. Although this second chance romance is a stand-alone novel, the books are best enjoyed when read in order.

      Mary Hatcher traveled to London to procure a trousseau for her upcoming marriage. When she attends the Frost Fair and meets a different man that ignites her interest, she tamps down the unwelcome feelings. But when her host’s son arrives at dinner and she learns he is the man she met at the Frost Fair, she has a new challenge: She must spend the Christmas Season in the same house as him without falling in love. Andrew Bright, the earl of Sanders, can never live up to his father’s legacy, so why bother trying? When he runs into a charming woman at the Frost Fair and later learns she is his mother’s guest, he is overjoyed. At least until he learns of her engagement. But friendship with her is better than nothing, until she threatens to push him into doing what he has long avoided - stepping into his father’s shoes. This is the second book in the clean regency romance Belles of Christmas: Frost Fair series. This forbidden-love romance is a stand-alone novel and the books can be read in any order.
