'twas the Night After Christmas

New York Times bestselling author Sabrina Jeffries unwraps a touching Regency tale brimming âÈêwith heart, soul, and holiday spiritâÈë (Publishers Weekly)! Pierce Waverly, the Earl of Devonmont, has never forgiven his parents for inexplicably abandoning him to distant relatives as a child. Nevertheless, when he receives word that the stranger he calls âÈêMotherâÈë is gravely ill, the unabashed rogue makes a rare return to Montcliff, his country estate. There he finds that the woman is perfectly healthyâÈ'and that he has fallen for a cunning ruse crafted by her ladyâÈçs companion, Mrs. Camilla Stuart. The lively vicarâÈçs widow, too bright and beautiful not to arouse the scoundrel in Pierce, is determined to reconcile the Earl and Lady Devonmont. None of them can predict the secrets, both heartening and shocking, divulged between a mother and son, and between two lovers, each haunted by their pasts, that will make Christmas night at Montcliff one to rememberâÈ'and the glorious night after, one to treasure for a lifetime.
