Merry Misrule – Paperback

She vowed never to be in his company again. Then came Christmas, a house party, and a sprig of mistletoe.

Joanna Merryton has never forgiven Lord Elijah Kentmore for the cruel pranks he played on her when they were young. She would never have accepted her best friend Caroline’s invitation to the family’s Christmas house party had she known Caroline’s brother would be home.

Elijah has returned from war just in time for the holidays, only to find that nothing has changed but him. He is a shadow of the man he once was. Many of his old memories have fled, replaced by others he wouldn’t wish on anyone. All he wants now is to be respected for the man he has become, not the boy he used to be.

He doesn’t recognize Joanna at all. But she remembers enough for both of them.

When Elijah tries to steal a kiss from the beautiful, mysterious woman beneath the mistletoe, her cold dismissal stuns him. Learning who she is stuns him even more. The awkward girl he once tormented has become a swan, and now all Elijah wants for Christmas is to prove he’s no longer the man she remembers.

But can he ever earn the forgiveness of a woman he wronged so badly?

Merry Misrule is a steamy Regency Christmas romance about a wounded war hero, his sister’s best friend, and a holiday season of redemption.
