A delightful Victorian Christmas romance with wit and heart.
When common rules of behavior in polite society come across as tedious and insurmountable, spinsterhood seems the only option…
Miss Gingifer Mitford’s parents have plans for their daughter’s future—prospects that include a certain type of husband, where to live, and how to behave. But Ginger cannot wrap her heart around these arrangements and becomes annoyingly willful. When she returns to the country and Dewdrop House for the annual cousin capers during the Christmas holidays, little does she know that this December, everything will change.
Bertran Stanton is first in line to inherit the title and estate, but his uncle and benefactor, the Earl of Thorndale, is concerned that Bert has yet to choose a suitable wife. He gives Bert until the eve of the new year to become acquainted with Lady Charlotta or be sent to London to find a wife there. As the cousins gather for jolly games, caroling, and various Christmas parties, Bert cannot dismiss a notion that keeps coming back. He has already fallen in love. Is it conceivable that the headstrong but unresistingly charming Ginger will ever feel the same, or will he have to look elsewhere?
