This slim novella gives the reader insight into the ancestry of one of our favorite romance families, the Malorys. The family gathers at Haverston to celebrate Christmas and finds a mysterious gift not addressed to anyone. Inside may be the key to uncovering one of their oldest family secrets. It may also be the key to convincing Molly to marry Jason. (The family patriarch has been in love with his housekeeper for several decades but she won't marry him because she doesn't want to cause a scandal in society). A lovely tale with fun cameos by all of the couples in earlier books in the series. no reviews | add a review

As the entire Malory family gathers at Haverston to celebrate the season, a mysterious present arrives anonymously. The gift is an old journal -- a tender and tempestuous account of the love affair between the second Marquis, Christopher Malory, and a dark gypsy beauty named Anastasia, who seeks a love match with a non-gypsy in order to save herself from a prearranged marriage to a brute. Though the dashing English lord Anastasia sets her sight upon burns for the exquisite, exotic miss, Christopher could never consent to wed such a lowborn lady. But miracles have been known to happen in this season of peace and giving and love, as two extraordinary people seperated by cicumstance of birth begin a passionate dance of will and wiles. And in the miraculous blossoming of a glorious romance at a long ago Christmastime, there are wise and well-learned lessons that will enrich the hearts of the Malory descendants -- and, indeed, of everyone who has ever dreamed.
