Résumé

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
