Partridge Christmas Collection - E-book - ePub

Charge your reader! Once you start reading these delightful sweet Regencies, you'll be hooked! It's the season for true love, so settle in and enjoy! The Partridge and the Peartree: Phillip Peartree, Duke of Bartlett, dreamed of married life until an accident left him scarred and nearly deaf. Resigned to spending his days alone, Phillip devotes himself to his family estate. But a chance encounter with a lovely young woman in a dusty bookstore rekindles his almost-forgotten hopes. Two Tutor Doves: Robert Townley is valet to Phillip, Duke of Bartlett.
But when Robert is coerced into teaching the poor children at the duchess' chapel school, he's out of his element. Thankfully he has assistance from some of the other servants, including the prickly Miss Brown. Love's Refrain: Lady Laura Montgomery would rather spend summer at the family estate, but instead she must act as her stepsister's chaperone for the London season. She takes solace in poetry and music.
They're all she has to comfort her as she faces the man who stole her heart years ago. Three French Inns: Peter Brown joined His Majesty's Army in the fight against Napoleon, but when he was wounded, a lovely Frenchwoman tended him. She's a widow and they're on opposing sides, so they went their separate ways. But he never forgot his "bel ange"-his beautiful angel. Four Calling Bards: Amanda Collins is the vicar's daughter in a sleepy town.
But her life is turned upside down when the village's wealthiest men suddenly court her. The Lord of the Manor, the doctor, and the butcher all make offers, and Amanda doesn't know what to do. Five Gold Rings: Grace Montgomery is known as a champion for social justice. Her latest cause pits her against the railroad threatening her beloved city of Cambridge. Her activism keeps her mind off the one thing she's always wanted: a family.
