What happens under the kissing bough doesn't
necessarily stay beneath the kissing bough...
According to lore, the origins of which date to the
late 12th century, no lady should refuse a kiss beneath the mistletoe, else she
will not marry in the next year. In exchange for the kiss, a berry is removed
from the sprig until all of the berries are gone and no more kisses can be
stolen. Some also believe that a sprig of mistletoe collected from a local
church and placed beneath a maiden's pillow will inspire dreams of her future
husband.
What happens when fifteen daring heroines pin their
hopes on mistletoe, a little luck, and a kiss in this multi-genre, limited
edition holiday collection from 15 bestselling authors? Pure holiday magic!
This set includes USA TODAY bestselling and National
bestselling authors Sandy Blair, Suzanne Ferrell, Kathryn Le Veque, Jeanne
Adams, Anna Campbell, Tina De Salvo, Barbara Devlin, Joan Kayse, Catherine
Kean, Anna Markland, Hildie McQueen, Meara Platt, Elizabeth Rose, Jordan K.
Rose, and Lana Williams.
ONE KNIGHT’S KISS BY CATHERINE
KEAN:
Days before
Christmas, Lady Honoria Whitford buys a book at the market to add to her prized
collection. Lord Tristan de Champagne, her brother’s best friend who will be
spending the holidays with them, is Intrigued by her love of romantic tales but
resents how enchanting he finds her, for he’s vowed never to risk his heart
again. As Christmas mischief under the Kissing Bough unfolds, so does the
secret of the book—one destined to bring great peril but also ever-after love.
IF YOU LOVED ME BY MEARA PLATT:
Adelaide
Farthingale’s journey from York to London as Christmas approaches takes an
unexpectedly romantic turn when Desmond Cameron, the Marquis of Blackfell
rescues her from an overturned carriage. The problem is, she’s on her way to
London to meet her intended husband and can’t possibly fall in love with
Desmond… can she? Adelaide keeps tucking that darn kissing bough under her
pillow in the hope of dreaming of the man she’s supposed to marry, but Desmond
keeps popping up in her dreams.
Desmond Cameron is in no hurry to marry and he certainly has no intention of marrying Adelaide Farthingale, for as a marquis he can aim far higher than the daughter of a merchant. But Adelaide, neglected by her father and raised in isolation in a lonely abbey north of York, simply tugs at his heart. She’s as hopeful as Desmond is cynical, and so eager to gain her father’s approval, that she’s about to sacrifice her happiness by marrying his business partner.
But
after a kiss under the mistletoe, Desmond knows Adelaide is the Christmas
miracle he’s been yearning for.
A YULE TO REMEMBER BY JEANNE ADAMS:

witchiest town in the world––Haven Harbor, Massachusetts!
It’s the
merriest of holidays and Yule and Christmas celebrations bring out the mischief
and mistletoe. Caught under the kissing bough, Annie Boylston and Reyn
Shapleigh are elected the King and Queen of the Yule Ball, and must spend the
week in revelry and celebration.
Unfortunately,
someone in town isn’t so happy about the holidays. An arsonist is trying
to disrupt the joyful season, bringing fire and destruction to Haven
Harbor. As the fire chief, Reyn is on the front line, using every bit of
his training and magick to find the firebug. Annie’s cooking store is one
of the arsonist’s targets, as are other thriving businesses in town. As
the fire of attraction grows between Reyn and Annie, the arsonist gets
bolder. In a race to stop the fires, Reyn and Annie find one another in
this hot mistletoe tale!
