Le serment Tome 2 : le valeureux

Celebrate!I love writing Christmas stories because they include three of my favorite things-tradition, lots of emotion, and a guaranteed happy ending.  That's why I'm delighted to reissue this holiday collection which includes four of my classic historical novellas, plus my only contemporary novella.  Sunshine for Christmas follows a lonely young aristocrat to Italy for the holidays, where he finds something even more precious than sunshine.  (The hero, Lord Randolph Lennox, was a secondary character in my RITA winning novel, The Rake.) The Christmas Cuckoo features level-headed young Meg who goes to the local coaching inn and comes home with the wrong Jack Howard.  And like a true cuckoo in the nest, Jack doesn't want to leave!  The Christmas Tart is the tale of Nicole, a young Frenchwoman down on her luck in London, whose stark choice for survival gives her--and her kitten!--a new chance for happiness. The Black Beast of Belleterre is a Beauty and the Beast Victorian tale of a beautiful  young artist and the husband who believes he cannot be loved.  Of course he's wrong! In A Holiday Fling, a British actress and a Hollywood cameraman team up to film a Christmas show for a good cause.  Anything that happens between them will be a strictly temporary holiday fling-or might it be more? What all these tales have in common is two people discovering life's greatest gift, love, at the happiest time of the year.  Enjoy! -Mary Jo Putney
