Regency Christmas Magic
by Barbara Metzger, Allison Lane, Edith Layton, Sandra Heath, Amanda McCabe

A once-handsome naval captain has vowed never to show his scarred face again. But when, Upon a Midnight Clear, he finds an unconscious Jamaican beauty rumored to be a witch, something stronger than her potions will draw him to her on this night of magic...

In The Ultimate Magic, a governess has caught the eye of a sworn bachelor, a man above her station. And at the Yuletide ball, it's clear that she is the one who needs a chaperone...

A father hires a former soldier to stand guard—and keep his Two Dancing Daughters from creeping out to Yuletide festivities. But when the handsome hero meets his charges, he'll have to keep up his guard, lest he fall for the darker, more demure beauty...

On the most magical night of the year, a practical young widow makes a wish. When Fate sends her an old magician claiming to be The Enchanted Earl of her dreams—and wanting a kiss—she wonders if, just today, she should let herself believe in magic...

Just when a widow and her two boys could do with some Christmas magic, signs of it appear in their new home—among them The Green Gauze Gown that materializes in her closet. Then an old flame turns up—and he's even more dashing than she remembered...
