Christmas Diamonds
By Archer, Devon Vaughn
From bestselling romance writer Devon Vaughn Archer comes a charming and sexy holiday love story, Christmas Diamonds. In this moving tale of love between a jeweler and an interior designer, diamonds truly are a girl's best friend--especially when they can lead to the man of her dreams. Ever since she was a little girl, Paula Devine has dreamed of a romantic Christmas Day proposal like the one her grandmother received back in the day. Instead, her list of disappointing exes gets longer each year. But just as she's ready to give up, Paula begins remodeling the home of an irresistibly sexy client--a man who inspires the kind of wicked thoughts that could land her on Santa's "naughty" list permanently. If there's one thing rarer than a flawless diamond, it's true love fused with passion. Jeweler Chase McCord had it once, and wondered if that shimmering heat was gone forever. But the beautiful woman who's renovating his home is also overhauling Chase's outlook, tempting him to submit to her sweet seduction--even if it means losing his heart all over again. PRAISE FOR CHRISTMAS DIAMONDS "Kudos to Devon Vaughn Archer for a job well-done! The story is romantic and sweet. His characters are intelligent, strong, and classy.

Unwrapping her talent for creating "scintillating wit and heart-stopping sensuality" (Library Journal ) , Sabrina Jeffries gives readers a gift to cherish: a touching new novel of an unexpected Christmas reunion - sparked by a cunning ruse, family secrets, and the mysterious ways of the heart. Dear Sir,. . . I feel I should inform you that your mother is very ill. If you wish to see her before it is too late, you should come at once.Sincerely,Mrs. Camilla Stuart Pierce Waverly, the Earl of Devonmont, has led an unabashed rogue's life, letting no woman near his heart. Inexplicably abandoned as a child to be raised by distant relatives, he never forgave his parents, refusing to read any of his mother's letters after his father's death. Then came a letter that shook his resolve. A Christmas visit to Montcliff might prove his last chance to discover the truth of his past, and come to terms with the stranger he calls "Mother." But two surprises await him at Montcliff. His mother is perfectly healthy, nowhere near a deathbed, as her meddling lady's companion led him to believe. The second is Camilla Stuart herself, a lively vicar's widow, too bright and beautiful not to arouse the scoundrel in Pierce. Though she alone is reason enough to prolong his stay, he is soon faced with other tantalizing riddles: What secrets lie in his mother's past to explain his childhood abandonment? Why is the captivating Mrs. Stuart so determined to mend the breach between mother and son? Meanwhile, Camilla herself is caught up in love's complications since the arrival of the irresistible earl. As his bold flirtation and suggestive whispers draw her dangerously close, can anything protect her vulnerable heart? If they are destined to share real happiness, there must be honesty between them - yet telling him the truth about her own life may shatter that chance. None of them can predict the startling revelations to come. Or the secrets, both heartening and shocking, divulged between a mother and son, and between two lovers haunted by their respective pasts, that will make Christmas night at Montcliff one to remember - and the glorious night after, one to treasure for a lifetime.
