WINNER! 2024 National Excellence in Storytelling Award A case of mistaken identity. One strong-willed, spunky female and one healing, heart-heavy lord. Two lonely souls stranded together during a wretched, snowy night... Arguing over the business end of a shovel, Lady Anne Larchmont and the scarred soldier who offers aid despite his recent injuries take refuge from the storm that caught them both unaware. When sparks fly and kisses warm with this coarse-speaking but compelling stranger, she regrets ever agreeing to the clod-brained engagement her father arranged (with the unmet betrothed who’s ignored her for months), especially when, after tonight, she’ll be wishing for the beguiling soldier she’ll never see again. Battle scarred and bone-weary, the prodigal Lord Redford returns home seeking solace—intent on pushing everyone away after an unexpected and touching interlude he cannot scrap from his mind. Only he’s greeted not with the small welcome party he expected, but with a house full of people ready to celebrate the holiday season and his engagement. Which is going to prove rather a challenge, given how he’s never met his betrothed… Or has he? ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you like feel-good stories full of wit and wordplay, loved Signet Regencies from authors like Mary Balogh, Carla Kelly and Barbara Metzger, Larissa Lyons’ heartfelt holiday Christmas Kisses are what you want in your stocking.
