Let the Revels begin-again! Four new stories with four distinctive voices: The Vicar's Christmas - Margaret Trent never needs anything or anyone, but when two London solicitors show up on her doorstep, she needs a hero. Enter Henry Ogden, mild-mannered village vicar. Hardly the stuff of heroes . . . until adversity brings out unexpected talents. A Christmas Equation - A chance meeting between a reluctant viscount and a self-effacing companion revives memories of their shared past-a time when they were very different people. With secrets to keep, Sarah Clendenin wishes Benjamin Radcliff gone . . . but he's making calculations of his own. Crimson Snow - A trail of blood drops leads Jane Merrywether to a wounded stranger-the only person standing in the way of her wicked guardian becoming an earl. John Rexford, long-thought dead, has returned to claim his inheritance and his promised bride . . . if he can survive a murderous Christmas. A Perfectly Unregimented Christmas - After years at war, Viscount Pennyworth returns to his ancestral home to find some peace and quiet and to avoid the holiday he loathes. But four naughty boys, a bonnet-wearing goat, a one-eyed cat, a family secret, and one Annabelle Winters, governess, make this a Christmas he'll never forget.

The Revels Continue... The Sergeant's Christmas Bride - Sergeant Jacob Burrows just wants a place to bed down for the night. He never expects to be confronted by a lady with a gun. Elizabeth FitzWalter intends to drive the stranger off her land, until she realizes he meets her most pressing need. Home for Christmas - When Charity Fletcher receives a mysterious bequest-a house by the sea-she hopes to rebuild her life. Lord Gilbert Narron leases a seaside house to hide from his memories of war. Charity's refuge is Gil's bolt-hole... but what both are seeking is a home for their hearts. A Memorable Christmas Season -The last thing Lady Roekirk expects at her Christmas party is a dead traitor in her parlor... or the Crown's Spymaster helping her hide the body. Thirty years earlier, she'd been forced to wed another and Lord Keyminster became a spy. After this long, does their love stand a chance? A Perfectly Unforgettable Christmas - Every day, Lucien Rollinsby endures a memory of Christmas Eve. Not even his lovely new neighbor can make him forget that horrible night five years ago. Caroline McAlasdair remembers that Christmas Eve, too. But if Lucien recalls her presence there, it will destroy their only chance at happiness forever.
