A blazing fire, an English country house … and the ultimate game of charades. In this
charming holiday novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Victoria Alexander, a
beautiful widow finds her plan for a Christmas proposal going perfectly awry …
Camille, Lady Lydingham, knows precisely what she wants for Christmas—an official
engagement to a handsome, dashing prince. Her very proper suitor expects a proper English
family and the perfect Dickensian Christmas, which leaves the lovely widow with a slight
problem. The last thing Camille wants is for the prince to meet her unconventional
relatives. But with the aid of a troupe of actors, Camille intends to pull off a Christmas
deception of massive proportions.
At least until Grayson Elliott shows up. A dozen years ago, he declared his love on the
day before her marriage to another man, then vanished from her life. Now he’s back, gate-
crashing Camille’s already chaotic house party, playing absolute havoc with her scheme—and
with her heart. Because for Grayson, losing Camille once was quite bad enough. Losing her
twice? Unthinkable. And he’ll find a way to show her they belong together—for this season,
and every Christmas yet to come …
