Camille, Lady Lydingham, knows precisely what she wants for Christmas an official engagement to a handsome, dashing prince. Her very proper suitor expects a proper English family and the perfect Dickensian Christmas, which leaves the lovely widow with a slight problem. The last thing Camille wants is for the prince to meet her unconventional relatives. But with the aid of a troupe of actors, Camille intends to pull off a Christmas deception of massive proportions. At least until Grayson Elliot shows up. A dozen years ago, he declared his love on the day before her marriage to another man, then vanished from her life. Now hes back, gate-crashing Camilles already chaotic house party, playing absolute havoc with her scheme and with her heart. Because for Grayson, losing Camille once was quite bad enough. Losing her twice? Unthinkable. And hell find a way to show her they belong together for this season, and every Christmas yet to come.
