A mysterious invitation to spend Christmas at an English manor home
may bring danger...and love?
England, 1851: When Clara Chapman receives an intriguing
invitation to spend Christmas at an English manor home, she is
hesitant yet feels compelled to attend—for if she remains the
duration of the twelve-day celebration, she is promised a sum of
five hundred pounds.
But is she walking into danger? It appears so, especially
when she comes face to face with one of the other guests—her former
fiancé, Benjamin Lane.
Imprisoned unjustly, Ben wants revenge on whoever stole his honor.
When he’s given the chance to gain his freedom, he jumps at it—and
is faced with the anger of the woman he stood up at the altar.
Brought together under mysterious circumstances, Clara and Ben
discover that what they’ve been striving for isn’t what ultimately
matters.
What matters most is what Christmas is all about . . .
love.

Dickens Christmas series--a page-turning Victorian-era holiday
tale--by Michelle Griep, a reader and critic favorite.
