      Once a notorious rake, Camden Folk, Marquis of Warbury, is now consumed by desire for only one woman: beautiful young widow Frances Burdett. And the Yuletide festivities at his country estate present the perfect opportunity for seduction…

      After her brief and unsatisfying marriage, Frances Burdett swore never to become tied to another man. Then a pas­sionate kiss under the mistletoe reawakens longings she thought buried forever. But can she give in to the pleasures of the body with a rogue like Cam—without losing her heart?

       About the Author

      BARBARA MONAJEM grew up in western Canada. She wrote her first story, a fantasy about apple tree gnomes, when she was eight years old, and dabbled in neighbourhood musicals at the age of ten. At twelve, she spent a year in Oxford, England, soaking up culture and history, grubbing around at an archaeological dig, playing twosy-ball against the school wall, and spending her pocket money on adventure novels. Thanks to her mother, she became addicted to Regency romances as well. Back in Canada, she wrote some dreadful teen melodrama, survived high school, and studied English literature at the University of British Columbia. She spent several years in Montreal and published a middle grade fantasy when her children were young. Now her kids are adults, and she writes his­torical and paranormal romance for grownups. She lives in Georgia, USA, with an ever-shifting population of rela­tives, friends, and feline strays.

      Author Note

      My gratitude goes to Kathy Payne, who helped me with the Latin motto of the Folk family. Needless to say, any errors are mine.

      Since this is a novella, I couldn’t include anywhere near as many Christmas traditions as I would have liked. I hope you enjoy those you will find. I love customs to do with food, so I searched the Internet for a recipe for the beverage called lamb’s wool. There are many variations out there, but essentially, it’s made of ale or beer, apples, sugar and spices. Find yourself a recipe and try it! It’s festive and delicious, and if you are a teetotaler or want to share it with children, you will be happy to know it works fine with non-alcoholic beer.

      Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas!

      Dedication

      To Katherine Briggs, author of the delightful children’s story Hobberdy Dick, about a hobgoblin who protects a house in Puritan times. Dick is the inspiration for the hobgoblin hovering unseen in the background of this story, adding a wee bit of magic to a Christmas tale.
