A Very English Christmas

When American Catriona Blake agrees to spend December caring for the daughters of renowned London surgeon Dr. Rhys Harmon, she tells herself it’s just a temporary job—one month in a borrowed cottage on the edge of Langley Park, enough money to get home

to Michigan, and no complications.

But nothing about Rhys or his girls is simple. Divorced for four years, he’s rented the centuries-old cottage outside Bakewell to create new traditions and give his daughters new memories. Yet the girls miss their vivacious mother and find it difficult to feel festive without her—which only deepens Rhys’s quiet fear that he’s failing them.

Catriona never expected to fall for her impossible, brilliant employer—or his lovely, complicated family. But one promise to twelve-year-old Jillian changes everything, binding Catriona to a truth she can’t ignore and a vow she can’t break… even if keeping it means breaking her own heart when love comes too soon, and Christmas ends too fast.
