A Royal Christmas — Nichole Blithe

What happens when the one you want, is the one you can never have?Mia wants more from life than what hundreds of years of tradition dictate. She craves purpose the constricting life of a duchess can't give her. To achieve it, she will have to defy her parents and convention. She also wants the chance for real love. She thought she had it once with Tazio before a rift between the families kept them apart. Christmas season at the palace may give her everything she desires.Tazio has always been a dutiful son, whatever the cost to his personal life. He's done his best to build the company his ailing father has left him in charge of, but even that is falling apart. Mia has never been far from his thoughts. When royal holiday affairs bring them together again, will he finally make time for both? They could find a lifetime of happiness, but it may all end in disaster when Tazio's business plans come to light.Either way, this will be a Christmas neither will forget.
