    About this series

    His love will marry another at Christmas! Time for desperate measures…

     

    After six years nursing her late father, Margaret Johns looks forward to her long-awaited London Season. Instead, her elder brother claims he is too poor and she is too old to warrant the expense. To escape her unbearable home situation and her new sister-in-law's spitefulness, Margaret accepts Squire Jenkins' proposal of a marriage of convenience. When the charming and feckless Lord Alistair Dunridge visits her brother's estate for Christmas, she's reminded of her youthful dreams—of marriage to this dashing nobleman and a family of her own.

     

    Alistair, the unloved and unneeded third son of a marquess, is now the heir to his grandmother's estate and finally in a position to propose to Margaret, the woman he loves. When Margaret refuses to withdraw from her engagement to the Squire, desperate measures are needed to save her from an unsuitable future, even if that means kidnapping her before her Christmas wedding!

     

    Can Alistair convince Margaret, before it's too late, that he's a changed man who can make all her dreams come true if she marries him?

     

    This sweet Christmas Regency romance is a M/F romance with a HEA.
