What Happens At Christmas

You are cordially invited to Christmas at Millworth Manor. . . Camille, Lady Lydingham, requests the pleasure of your company at a festive house party, as she endeavors to coax a marriage proposal from Prince Nikolai Pruzinsky of Greater Avalonia. The hostess's relatives will be in attendance–in this case, a troupe of actors hired to impersonate a proper English family in order to fool the Prince. Gate-crashing, distractingly handsome first loves like Grayson Elliott are most unwelcome. Games will be played. Motives will be revealed. Mayhem may ensue. And hearts will be won–and lost–in the most romantic, magical season of all. Please RSVP «Cleverly conceived and flawlessly executed: the perfect holiday treat.» – The Chicago Tribune "Alexander's divine Victorian Christmas confection provides an abundance of wit and warmth."" – Publishers Weekly
