By 1816, widowed bookseller Lawrence Fenton has spent a lonely lifetime hiding who he is. He has convinced himself his feelings for his far too young, gorgeous, but troubled assistant Christy Shaw are nothing more than pride in his protégé and concern for his plight.
Christy’s life involves walking fine lines: one between his mother and his abusive stepfather, one where he must keep his needs hidden, and hardest of all, one where he must keep his feelings for his serious employer to himself.
Lame since birth, Lawrence cannot imagine anyone wanting him, least of all Christy. But when Christy’s life threatens to spiral out of control, Lawrence steps in. Then Christy’s emotions spill over into a kiss under the mistletoe at Christmas. Will Lawrence be able to face the long-buried truth about himself and keep Christy by his side?

I’ve been in the mood for a historical for a while now…I’m thinking this is it! 🙂
I pre-ordered her Regency Rogues Box Set during the Black Friday sale, but somehow missed this one. I’ll have to fix that! 😏
YES!! Read it! I absolutely LOVED it…so much I’m taking my money and buying all her stuff AND I’m gonna review it for next week’s Sunday Christmasvaganza review! 🙂
Fantastic, because I’d already decided to start the box set for my treadmill read this week! ♡ Gotta go buy that holiday story now. 😁
Gah…didn’t start the box set after all…forgot it still wasn’t live. I’ve got to wait until the 23rd!
Noooo, how frustrating!
LOL, it’s okay. I’m enjoyed the short I read Sun. & Mon., and am looking forward to the one I’m starting today. I’ll read the Regency Rogues starting Christmas Eve, instead!😁
