The reigning queens of Regency Romance return with another delightful Christmas collection of three sparkling holiday romances, as stranded travelers find merriment, mistletoe, and holiday romance awaiting at a quaint country inn . . .

THE UNEXPECTED GIFT by Madeline Hunter
Jenna Waverly has closed her inn, anticipating a blissfully quiet Christmas, until a snowstorm brings the first of several strangers to her property. Lucas Avonwood, as charming as he is secretive, is on a mission to track down a scoundrel, but the inn's lovely owner is giving him a more compelling reason to stay . . .

WHEN WE FINALLY KISS GOOD NIGHT by Sabrina Jeffries
When Flora Younger first met Konrad Juncker, she thought she'd found her match, only to have her hopes dashed. Konrad is now a famous playwright whose plays Flora has secretly panned in reviews. But a chance meeting in a secluded inn may help them rewrite this star-crossed romance . . .
WHEN STRANGERS MEET by Mary Jo Putney
Kate Mcleod is shocked to find that her fellow guest in the snowbound inn is the dashing soldier who may or may not be her husband. Daniel Faringdon barely remembers that long-ago night when he rescued her from disaster, but the desire they discover now will be impossible to forget, or to ignore . . .

      This intricately woven trio of Regency romance novellas makes for cozy reading during the holiday season. Hunter’s “The Unexpected Gift” finds Jenna Waverly closing her inn and sending most of the servants away, hoping for a brief Christmastime respite before a visit with her estranged brother. But when strangers seek shelter from an ice storm—among them the injured and feverish Lucas Avonwood—she graciously welcomes them in from the cold and nurses Lucas back to health. In Jeffries’s “When We Finally Kiss Goodnight,” another of Jenna’s guests, ladies companion Flora Younger, is dismayed to run into playwright Konrad Juncker, whom she believed to be courting her in Bath years ago. Gamely volunteering to help Jenna feed and entertain her unexpected visitors, the pair reconnect while composing a Christmas carol together and introducing the crowd to the German tradition of Christmas trees. The inn plays host to yet another unexpected reunion in Putney’s “When Strangers Meet,” this one with an even more complex backstory involving a quicky marriage in India. All three tales carefully follow the same timeline and incorporate the same overarching details to conjure a believable sense of place. Together, they form a well-rounded whole with plenty of heated moments for a cold evening.

      Holiday travelers find refuge from a snowstorm as well as some yuletide romance in this trio of superb Regency novellas. In Sabrina Jeffries' entrancing "When We Finally Kiss Goodnight," playwright Konrad Juncker finds both his literary secret and his heart in jeopardy when he crosses paths again with Flora Younger. In Madeline Hunter's cleverly crafted "The Unexpected Gift," innkeeper Jenna Waverly has her hands full with the sudden arrival of a bevy of guests, but that doesn't mean she won't devote herself to caring for the mysterious stranger found unconscious in the snow. In Mary Jo Putney's brilliantly rendered "When Strangers Meet," the last person Kate Macleod expects to find in a snowbound English inn is her husband, who disappeared on their wedding day in Bombay seven years ago. Insightful, engaging, and possessing just the right dash of holiday spirit, this a perfect gift for historical romance fans.
