A Christmas Abduction — Madeline Hunter

The holidays are full of surprises, and in this Regency-set novella from the New York Times bestselling author, one unsuspecting rogue finds a dash of danger on his road to romance -- and a treacherous snowstorm is the least of it. Will appeal to fans of Bridgerton and readers of Lisa Kleypas and Eloisa James.

Caroline Dunham has a bone to pick with notorious rake Adam Prescott, Baron Thornhill -- and a creative plan to insure his undivided attention. It involves an ambush of sorts, and a pistol. Yet even the best laid plans have a way of backfiring . . .

Once in close quarters, face to face with Adam's unexpected chivalry, Caroline is taken aback by her own susceptibility to his charms. Yet the more determined she is to avoid falling under his spell, the less of a devil he appears to be. And fate has another surprise in store -- one that may leave both their hearts captive for a long time to come . . .
