Holly, Ivy, and Me
by Charlotte Featherstone, Monica Burns

Beneath the Mistletoe by Charlotte Featherstone:
Holly Nightingale is a woman who has forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. It's been eight years since the man she thought loved her left her without a word after kissing her passionately beneath the mistletoe.

Andrew Carlyle has made his fortune in India and returned to England to claim the woman he has always wanted. But the Holly he knew is gone. In her place is a stranger with a delectably curvaceous body he can't stop desiring, and a steely resolve he hopes to breach. And he will, especially with the help of Holly's great-grandmother--The Grand Dame, not to mention his persuasive skill with the mistletoe.

A Bluestocking Christmas by Monica Burns:
Miss Ivy Beecham is a bluestocking who has sworn off love, and she's found the perfect place to hide--a library. Simon Carton, Viscount Wycombe, is an intellectual rogue who's convinced all women can be bought.

What neither of them counted on was finding love amid a stack of dusty books. Determined to win the reluctant bluestocking nymph, Simon seduces Ivy with words and other sinful pleasures. But despite the passion between them, Ivy refuses to risk her heart--at least not until the ghost of her ancestor visits her on Christmas Eve and helps Ivy see that her choices will affect the rest of her life. The question is, will Ivy make the right choice?

A Kind of Magic by Monica Burns and Charlotte Featherstone:
Christmas for thirty year old romance writer, Julia Taylor is just plain not worth it. The excitement that used to surround Julia during the holidays has been replaced with a cool cynicism. The magic is gone. Faced with the loss of her publishing contract if she doesn't produce a blockbuster romance novel for her editor, she heads for Harrow Lodge, the home of her ancestor, the Grand Dame, in England. To finance her trip, she pawns a treasured heirloom that's been in the family even longer than Harrow Lodge. But the ghost of the Grand Dame has something else in store for Julia.

Brock Maitland is not quite alive, nor is he dead. He's in that insufferable space, hovering on the brink of either state. Brock only has one chance to find his soul mate and make her love him, thus returning him to a mortal state. Now all he has left to do is convince Julia, the uptight, spinster romance author, that the magic she creates in her books can be found between them.

Charlotte Featherstone's Bio

Since the moment I first read Elizabeth George Speare's novel, A Witch From Blackbird Pond, I have dreamt of becoming a novelist. Suffering through old forts and historic landmarks on family vacations instead of Disney World and theme parks, gave me (however grudgingly) an appreciation for history and the magical world it once represented. Today, those boring old vacations have served me well when writing historical romances. And part of the allure for me is slipping back into another time and imagining myself being swept away by a wicked rogue!

I live in Ontario, in a small, rural community. Unfortunately, there is an astonishing lack of balls and soiree's. We don't have a modiste and there's not a chaise and four to be had anywhere! Hence my make believe world.

My husband is my ultimate hero, despite the fact he absolutely refuses to wear a cravat and thinks a race car is far superior to a sporty little curricle! Ah well, there's plenty of time to change him into a Regency Rake!

I'm always thrilled to hear from readers, it keeps me from all those domestic goddess duties I hate. Drop me a line and keep me out of the kitchen!
