Summary

A war hero's widow, Graceanne, still has her adorable three year old twin boys to love, until she receives a letter from her late husband's demanding cousin, Leland Warrington, the Duke of Ware. It seems that the duke, 32 years old, twice widowed, and with no forseeable plans to marry again, is in desperate need of an heir. And seeing that Graceanne has two boys, she could easily spare one. Well, couldn't she?

Graceanne is too strong a woman not to stand up to Leland's completely unreasonable expectations. When she does, she unleashes a hair-raising maternal fury that takes Leland by surprise. He also finds it all, quite frankly, magnificent. So much so, that he's now entertaining thoughts of winning Graceanne's heart, as well as an heir. A romantic scheme that grows more mischievous and unpredictable with each passing winter night.

Heartwarming Xmas tale

A typically witty, slightly silly BM story to chuckle over. PR never disappoints. Christmas cheer.

Comfort and joy.

Heart warming tale for Christmas and beyond. My favourite duo of Barbara Metzger with Pippa Rathborne do not disappoint. Lots of mischief, village church nativity, romance and after many pitfalls, satisfying conclusion. More please, Audible, by this duo. Just can't get enough of dry humor in a romantic tale.
