Oh, the parishioners are kind and welcoming to her, but unlike her husband, ministering to them just isn\u2019t her calling. And then, on Christmas Eve, someone leaves a swaddled newborn in the manger of the vicarage stable. Walter\u2019s first suspicion is that it\u2019s a terrible prank directed at his wife, but for Artemisia, it\u2019s love at first sight.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">They can\u2019t very well just keep the baby and raise him as their own, however, when they aren\u2019t certain where he came from or why. So Walter and Artemisia embark on a mission to find the truth, and not only discover a crime that\u2019s been hidden for far too long, but the truest gifts of all: that love multiplies and it\u2019s never too late to find a purpose.<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_23787e9 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_2d1ea91  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Oct 20, 2020<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Lords of\u00a0 Lancashire<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>Bonus Epilogue to Hot Under the Collar<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> <strong>FREE<\/strong>\u00a0for newsletter subscribers <strong>OR<\/strong> $.99<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11942 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/excerpt2.png?resize=185%2C50\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"50\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Walter knew, with a sick sense of dismay and disbelief, what he would find when he entered the stable. He knew because it was Christmas Eve. And he knew because it made everything else suddenly make a terrible kind of sense.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lifting the lantern, he stepped inside. Buford\u2019s stall stood open and, when he rounded the corner, he found the source of the plaintive, thready wail just where he expected. Lying atop the mound of hay in Buford\u2019s trough\u2014his manger\u2014was a tightly wrapped bundle the precise size and shape of a very young infant. And indeed, when Walter got closer, he could see the babe\u2019s face, round but wizened in the way that, in his somewhat limited experienced, characterized newborns.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The baby, which had fallen momentarily silent, screwed up his\u2014or perhaps her, it was impossible to tell at this juncture\u2014features and let out another tinny cry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Jesus Christ.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, not literally, of course.

Oh, the parishioners are kind and welcoming to her, but unlike her husband, ministering to them just isn\u2019t her calling. And then, on Christmas Eve, someone leaves a swaddled newborn in the manger of the vicarage stable. Walter\u2019s first suspicion is that it\u2019s a terrible prank directed at his wife, but for Artemisia, it\u2019s love at first sight.<br \/><br \/>They can\u2019t very well just keep the baby and raise him as their own, however, when they aren\u2019t certain where he came from or why. So Walter and Artemisia embark on a mission to find the truth, and not only discover a crime that\u2019s been hidden for far too long, but the truest gifts of all: that love multiplies and it\u2019s never too late to find a purpose.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Oct 20, 2020<br \/><strong>Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>Lords of\u00a0 Lancashire<br \/><\/em><strong>Book:\u00a0<\/strong>Bonus Epilogue to Hot Under the Collar<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> <strong>FREE<\/strong>\u00a0for newsletter subscribers <strong>OR<\/strong> $.99<\/p> <p>\u00a0<\/p> <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/excerpt2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"50\" \/><\/p> <p>\u00a0<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Walter knew, with a sick sense of dismay and disbelief, what he would find when he entered the stable.

And he knew because it made everything else suddenly make a terrible kind of sense.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lifting the lantern, he stepped inside. Buford\u2019s stall stood open and, when he rounded the corner, he found the source of the plaintive, thready wail just where he expected. Lying atop the mound of hay in Buford\u2019s trough\u2014his manger\u2014was a tightly wrapped bundle the precise size and shape of a very young infant. And indeed, when Walter got closer, he could see the babe\u2019s face, round but wizened in the way that, in his somewhat limited experienced, characterized newborns.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The baby, which had fallen momentarily silent, screwed up his\u2014or perhaps her, it was impossible to tell at this juncture\u2014features and let out another tinny cry.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Jesus Christ.<\/em><\/p> <p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, not literally, of course.
