There's something about Ireland...and a #giveaway

Free Christmas Novella

Need a heartwarming read for the holidays? For a couple of days, my novella The Christmas Knot is free on Amazon! (Supposedly November 26 through 29, but Amazon's ways are mysterious and I'm not sure exactly when it will end. So if you want a copy for your Kindle, go grab it now.)

The Christmas Knot is a Slightly Gothic Regency Mystery Romance Novella! Quite a mouthful, I know, but it doesn't fit neatly into any one category.

Widowed and destitute, Edwina White takes a position as governess in a remote village in the north of England—in a haunted house. She’s so desperate that she’ll take anything, and besides, she doesn’t believe in ghosts. Little does she know that her new employer is the seducer who lied and deceived her many years ago.

Sir Richard Ballister inherited an estate with a ghost and a curse, and every governess he hires leaves within a week. Finally, a woman desperate enough to stay arrives on his doorstep—but she’s the seductress who dropped him many years earlier for a richer man.

The last thing Richard and Edwina want is to work together, but they have no choice. Can they overcome the bitterness of the past in time to unravel a centuries-old knot and end the Christmas curse?

Happy Thanksgiving!

The Christmas Knot re-release and a #giveaway

Today I'm at Embracing Romance celebrating the re-release of The Christmas Knot (which was formerly part of the boxed set, Captivated By His Kiss). I'm whining about genre confusion and giving away two of my Harlequin Historical Undone novellas to commenters. Please hop on over and join me there!

http://www.embracingromance.com/genre-confusion-a-re-release-and-a-giveaway/


Short blurb, just because:
 

It’s bad enough being a governess, but far worse that Edwina White’s new employer is the man who deceived her years before.

Richard Ballister’s estate has a ghost and a curse, but if that’s not trouble enough, the new governess is the woman who spurned him for a richer man.

Can Edwina and Richard overcome a bitter past in time to dispel the curse and save their future?
