Snowed-in for Christmas!
The penniless orphan of a disgraced Baronet, Miss Dorcas Minster catches the Mail coach north to work as a governess. Her traveling companions are very jolly, but on Christmas Eve the coach breaks down in thick snow and Dorcas finds herself walking back to the inn with kind and gruff Sir Richard Severall, a Colonel in the Dragoons.
She's shocked when, caught in the freezing weather, Sir Richard kisses her! Rescue, safety, and warmth at the inn brings new perils: Sir Richard insists on loaning her money, but what will he want in return? And there's a highwayman at large who they suspect is one of their companions...
Though the snowbound inn is full of friendship, good food, and laughter, Dorcas' future is bleak. If only she could stay in the inn—and with Sir Richard—forever...
A sweet and clean Christmas snowed-in story that will delight fans of Regency romance in the style of Austen, Heyer, and Mimi Matthews.
