Book excerpt: A shocking reunion and a Yuletide bargain will either end in a double disaster…or a second chance for love. Celebrated war hero Harry Thatcher returned to England a drunken wastrel and determined bachelor. He takes up the mantle of the Saint of Seven Dials in an attempt to halt his march down the path to ruin, but what first set him on that path? Most assume it was the battlefield injury that cost Harry his arm but years earlier, there was a woman… Xena Maxwell fascinated Harry when he met her in an Army camp on the Peninsula. Heedless of convention after traveling the world with her scholarly father, she preferred breeches to dresses and was as gifted at repairing wounds as causing them, with pistol or sword. Harry’s attraction and Xena’s disregard for propriety ended in a forced wedding and immediate separation by her furious father. Wartime miscommunication led each to believe the other dead until, seven years later, they abruptly come face to face in London! Overcoming their mutual shock, they agree to ignore that long-ago wedding and go their separate ways until Harry’s meddling best friend tricks them into giving their marriage a chance by sharing a house for the month of December. Can living openly as husband and wife—and a dose of Christmas spirit—repair old wounds and give them the happy ending they were denied seven years before? The latest installment in Brenda Hiatt’s bestselling Saint of Seven Dials series!

Book excerpt: He lost a wager . . . but won a treasure. Due to a lost wager, the Duke of Ravenham is obliged to bring a pretty little nobody from the country into fashion among the high-sticklers of London Society. Ravenham would never refuse a debt of honor, no matter how unorthodox, so he overlooks Miss Gordon’s vulgar relations to do what is necessary, escorting the unsophisticated chit to balls, etc. But what he expects to be an irksome duty turns out to be something quite different as he falls under the spell of his protege’s innocent charm. When he lost that wager, he definitely never counted on losing his heart as well! First impressions can be deceiving. Miss Gabriella Gordon only came to London at her mother’s and sister’s insistence, for she’d much rather assist in running her father’s veterinary practice than attempt to fit into fashionable society. No sooner has she arrived in London than the exalted (and exceedingly handsome) Duke of Ravenham comes to call. The reason is less than flattering, however: due to a lost wager, the Duke is forced to bring Gabriella into fashion, a “favor” she would certainly refuse if her family would let her. But the more time she spends in the dashing Duke’s company, the more conflicted she feels— particularly when she discovers they have more in common than she ever dared dream.
