When a Puritan miss discovers the joys of Christmas, love's as near as the mistletoe.
The Davenport sisters were alone, without even a dour-faced maid to supervise their strict puritanical devotions, until the elder, flame-haired Gillian boldly decided it was high time they let their hair down. Now, with the help of a kindly relation, the two daring misses exchange their somber attire for modish gowns and hairstyles that would surely give their parents apoplexy.
But the best is yet to come: plum pudding, eggnog, carols, and a most breathtaking tree. The Davenport sisters revel in the rituals of Christmas—and in the selection of handsome gentlemen who decorate the festivities.
But when Gillian is caught under the mistletoe by Lord Ranger Marden, she discovers things her mother never dreamed of telling her.

“In Beaton’s sixth romance in her Regency series, the puritanical Davenport sisters opt to ditch their pious ways and indulge in a footloose and fancy-free Christmas celebration…This charming tale will appeal to fans of the genre, but Nettleton’s narration will put a smile on anyone’s face while infusing the listener with the holiday spirit.”
