A Duke for the Holidays — Jillian Eaton

Can a shy wallflower steal the heart of England's most notorious bachelor in time for Christmas?It should be noted there was nothing particularly special about Merry Clearwater. In fact, everything about her was rather ordinary.She was of average height and build with a plain face, round cheeks, and a top lip that was slightly heavier than the bottom. Her eyes were blue, a pleasing enough color, but they had the poor habit of shying away from prolonged contact. She had a soft voice that was soothing to the ears, but, like her face, it was not very memorable.Her natural propensity towards shyness prevented her from drawing attention unto herself, and more often than not she was comfortable going unnoticed in a sea of prettier, wealthier, and more outgoing debutantes.Yet despite all of these ordinary characteristics – or perhaps because of them – Merry managed to capture the attention of one of the most powerful dukes in all of England.And that is where our story begins...A novella of 20k words previously published under the title Merry, this sweet holiday-themed Regency romance is guaranteed to put you in the Christmas spirit!
