About this item
Publishers WeeklyPassion and intrigue are deftly woven together in Grace's splendid third romantic adventure (after Lady Amelia's Mess and a Half) featuring the Hillary family. Lisette Lavigne will do anything to escape 1818 New Orleans and the clutches of her loathsome fianc. Fearing for herself and her brother, Rafe, she tries to secure passage on a ship captained by handsome Daniel Hillary. Daniel mistakenly believes Lisette to be a widow, and she encourages this belief when he agrees to take her and Rafe to England and suggests her sexual favors might sweeten the trip. The love/hate relationship between Daniel and Lisette is just as enticing as their simmering desire. Grace's talent for crafting multidimensional characters is particularly evident in her portrayal of Rafe, whom modern readers will recognize as autistic.

A Beau Monde Bachelor Christmas (extended epilogue)
Join newlywed couples Lord and Lady Norwick, Jake and Amelia Hillary, Daniel and Lisette Hillary, and Isaac and Serafine Tucker for their first Christmas together.
Bibi, the Countess of Norwick, would love to give her husband the one thing he really wants for Christmas: a ceasefire between her and his intractable sister. Facing Lady Troll during the holidays without reinforcements, however, would be foolish, and Bibi is no fool. She calls upon her dearest friends, Amelia and Jake Hillary, and a few more familiar faces to spend Christmas in Kent to help make the season a little brighter. Unfortunately, her guests are distracted by their own challenges this holiday season, and Bibi must find a way to connect with her sister-in-law without their help if she hopes to make Jasper's Christmas wishes come true.
