Music and Mistletoe by Sahara Kelly

“You have no country seat, Perry, am I right?” Grace gazed from the window as the hedgerows, dappled with snow, flashed past.
“True. There was once a Hawkesbury Manor, but I think my ancestor lost it in a game of cards to one of Henry the Eighth’s cronies.”
“Clumsy of him.”
“He probably cheated.”
A conversation between a Lady and a Gentleman in a carriage, England, Christmas 1816

Sometimes, it takes a nudge from Fate to unite a couple and awake the realization that they’re perfectly suited to each other.
In the case of the self-conscious Grace Chaney and the intellectual Sir Peregrine Hawkesbury, the nudge Fate produces is an ice storm, trapping them in a house that doesn’t belong to either of them, and with a family they’ve never met.
Lively children, horrid weather and unusual circumstances aside, Perry and Grace manage to capture some Christmas spirit of their own, with the help of a piano and Grace’s musical brilliance. But whether it will last or not—well that’s a decision they’ll make on Christmas Eve – if they can find each other, that is.
