While visiting American heiress Amanda Keane attends a holiday house party in England, she’s stunned when a stranger kisses her passionately beneath the mistletoe. But Lord Stephen, the current Marquess of Knightford’s youngest brother and a radical crusader against poor mill practices, is equally stunned to find that the lovely and spirited woman he kissed by mistake is a mill owner in America. When an accident on Christmas Eve has the hothead and the heiress from two different worlds joining forces to help injured mill workers, their passion for principles becomes a passion for each other. But is that enough to bridge an ocean of differences and a family of determined meddlers?

Regency Tidbit

Regency and Georgian men and women could be quite randy. The Duke of Queensbury had an illegitimate daughter, Mary, by an Italian marchesa (the equivalent of an English marchioness) and easily convinced an earl to marry his darling daughter. The founder of the Smithsonian Museum started life as the illegitimate son of the first Duke of Northumberland and a wealthy Bath widow. He was born abroad (discreetly) in Paris, and eventually brought back to England to be educated. William IV, Prinny’s youngest brother, had ten illegitimate children with an actress, all of whom were given titles or married off to lords. The higher in rank you were, the more your indiscretions were overlooked or swept under the table. But lower-ranking women could have a rough time. Many was the story of a fallen woman on the stage or in the brothels who’d been a gentlewoman before she was seduced. Which is why my club members are trying to keep the rogues at bay!
