Twelve Days of Christmas — Barbara Miller

Tamara's younger brother plans to spend Christmas at Oakley Park rather than with her in their London home. That simply will not do. She's heard gossip about Lord Oakley and the scandalous holiday “celebrations” he's indulged in since leaving the army. She sets out at once to rescue her brother from his clutches. But rather than finding a debauched rake, she finds a man broken from his experiences in the war.

Though it has been nearly two years since his injury, Lord Oakley -- Ashford -- still hasn't quite recovered. He knows his family followed certain traditions over the Twelve Days of Christmas, but he can't recall what they were. When Tamara arrives at Oakley Park, he finds a kindred spirit -- someone as wounded by life as he's been. Someone who seems more than willing to help him face the past.

Together, they set out on a journey of discovery and remembrance and find out just how magical the holidays can be.
