A Feel-Good Regency Christmas Tale

Snow flurries are forecast in my neck of the woods for next week. You know what that means? It’s time to stock up my shelves with Christmas tales for the coming wintry evenings. And here’s one I just got last week. Author Julie Klassen brings back familiar characters and some new in her Ivy Hill Christmas. Here’s a blurb:

Richard Brockwell, the younger son of Ivy Hill's most prominent family, hasn't been home for Christmas in years. He prefers to live in the London townhouse, far away from Brockwell Court, the old family secret that haunts him, and the shadows of his past mistakes. But then his mother threatens to stop funding his carefree life--unless he comes home for Christmas. Out of options, he sets out for Ivy Hill, planning to be back on a coach bound for London and his unencumbered bachelor life as soon as the festivities are over.
