A convenient arrangement: Three festive Regency romances!
In The Captain’s Christmas Journey by Carla Kelly, Captain Everard is escorting Verity to her governess job—and for propriety’s sake that means a convenient engagement!
In Louise Allen’s The Viscount’s Yuletide Betrothal, Eleanor advertises for a “suitable” gentleman to pose as her betrothed over Christmas.
And in Laurie Benson’s novella, Juliet’s One Night Under the Mistletoe leads to a marriage of convenience with handsome former love Lord Montague...
“A lovely, whimsical tale with unforgettable characters and richly detailed prose and lots of Christmas magic thrown in. The story of long-lost lovers finding each other against all odds proves a powerful one.”
—RT Book Reviews on “Captain Grey’s Christmas Proposal” in Regency Christmas Wishes
“An enchanting, enjoyable and tender hearted historical romance about second chances, convenient arrangements and everlasting love.”
—Goodreads on The Earl’s Practical Marriage
“A very beautiful fantastic book by an author who never lets us down, truly utterly adored from start to finish.”
—Goodreads on An Unexpected Countess
CARLA KELLY started writing Regency romances because of her interest in the Napoleonic Wars. She enjoys writing about warfare at sea and the ordinary people of the British Isles rather than lords and ladies. In her spare time she reads British crime fiction and history—particularly books about the US Indian Wars. Carla lives in Utah and is a former park ranger and double RITA® Award and Spur Award winner. She has five children and four grandchildren.
LOUISE ALLEN loves immersing herself in history. She finds landscapes and places evoke the past powerfully. Venice, Burgundy and the Greek islands are favourite destinations. Louise lives on the Norfolk coast and spends her spare time gardening, researching family history or travelling in search of inspiration.

LAURIE BENSON is an award-winning Regency romance author, whose book An Unexpected Countess was voted Harlequin’s 2017 ‘Hero of the Year’ by readers. She began her writing career as an advertising copywriter. When she isn’t at her laptop, avoiding laundry, Laurie can be found browsing antiques shops and going on long hikes with her husband and two sons.
