Blame It On The Mistletoe--When Major Lucas Stanton

inherited his earldom, he never dreamed his property would

include the previous earl's granddaughter. Phoebe Linville

is a sparkling American beauty, yes, but with a talent for

getting into trouble. Witness the compromising position that

forced them into wedlock. Whisked away to Mistletoe Manor,

his country estate, it isn't long before she is challenging

his rules--and surprising him in and out of bed-- Phoebe has

no intention of bowing to Lucas's stubbornness even though

he offers all that she wants. His kisses and unexpected

warmth are enticing, but Phoebe is determined to show the

earl of Merritt what real love is all about. And if that

takes twelve nights of delicious seduction by a roaring

fire, she's more than willing to reveal her gifts very

slowly--"The perfect holiday treat!" --Kieran KramerPraise

for Vanessa Kelly and My Favorite Countess"In her latest

sublimely sensual Regency historical, Kelly delivers wit, a

tightly knit plot, a refreshingly different hero, and a

realistically complicated heroine, who could give Scarlett

O'Hara a good run for her money." --Booklist (starred review)
