The death of her husband has thrown Lady Maria Kersey's future into
doubt--and her heart into the arms of a man she cannot have. But
Christmas with the Widows' Club will bring choices--and surprises--that
may change all her holidays to come . . .
Maria just gave birth to her first child, a beautiful daughter--but the
event is shrouded in sorrow. A month earlier, Maria's husband, Lord
Kersey, was killed in a duel under compromising circumstances. Worse,
Maria's failure to provide a male heir has stripped her of any hope of
an inheritance. Scorned by the ton, one of her few allies is her late
husband's steward, Hugh Granger. Hugh is everything her husband was
not--warm, charming--and penniless. . . .
Hugh has fallen desperately in love with Maria, but has little to offer
but comfort. As their attraction becomes impossible to resist, Maria
flees to London to spend Christmas with her dearest friends, a group of
widows who lost their own husbands in the Battle of Waterloo. Little
does she know the holidays will reveal a twist of fate she never
expected--proving that the greatest Christmas gift is the magic of true
love . . .
