WINTER

Carla Kelly’s seasonal anthology starts off with Let Nothing You Dismay, a regency story, where Cecelia Ambrose escorts one of her pupils home for Christmas, but the girl’s parents are away taking care of sick family.

REGENCY

However, he is alive and he doesn’t want anyone to know what happened after being rescued. Alice, though, won’t just ignore those six years of his life. By Love or By Sea gives readers not just regency romance, but mystery romance as Alice unravels Caleb’s past.

Ashtyn Newbold’s Lies and Letters on the other hand, will have you both frustrated and enraptured. With her family’s future resting on her shoulders, Charlotte Lyons must overcome her bad attitude that brought her disdain in her home town so she may attract a rich suitor. But then she must determine if true love is really worth giving up the comfort of wealth.

FOLKLORE

Swan and Shadow gives readers and interesting twist on the white and black swan from the Swan Lake Story. Aislyn, the younger of twin sisters, is cursed with swan by day and human by night.
