Could a rogue be her knight in shining armor?
Mary Cavendish’s corset is already too tight. All the lovely Christmas food is tempting her, and that’s bad news for her dream of attracting a “knight on a white charger” — not that volunteering at the parish hospital is how she expects to meet him. Enter a mysterious Christmas Eve patient, who is none other than the famous Shakespearean actor Sir Wesley Samuel Darcy. Mary finds him arrogant, too forward… and maddeningly handsome.
When Mary learns Sir Wesley has been invited to spend Christmas with her family at Rougemont, she vows to resist the charming London rogue. Wesley thinks finding the perfect present for Miss Cavendish will tempt her — she’s not as prim as she pretends to be. Mary turned down six proposals last Season, and she’s not about to give in to a rake. But if Mary can’t resist the sugarplums, how can she resist the dashing Sir Wesley?

Reviewer’s Thoughts
I devoured this while I had down time at work. Thankfully it was a slow night so I could enjoy this book. This was the first book I have read from Moriah Densley, and was a great Christmas Novella.
In this book we follow the Christmas adventure of the lovely Mary Cavendish, a character whom I immediately fell in love with. She is trying to avoid the “spinster” mark, while keeping herself busy in a local hospital and awaiting someone that truly loves her and understands that she is more than a ball gown and a dowry. Not to mention she is constantly obsessing about her wait and what enjoying the holiday treats will do to her figure. Which i found it nice to read about a lead female character in a book having troubles with weight.
I also loved the lead male character, he was very charming, and completely accepted Mary the way she was, loving her for everything she was.
I loved this book and can’t wait to read more from Moriah Densley!
Thank you for this lovely review, Marie. I appreciate your taking the time. Hope you had a lovely holiday.
