Twelve Days – författare

Ten Leaping Lords, one imperious grandmother, and a Mister from Louisiana were her Christmas fate. Much to Lady Lucinda Claxton's dismay and irritation, her father's house party only includes bachelors ready to wed. With her siblings off celebrating Christmas elsewhere, Lucinda is left to fend for herself. A new arrival, however, changes everything, and soon Lucinda decides the next ten days may not be so tedious after all.  Mr. Caleb Copeland agrees to accompany his great-aunts to the home of the Duke of Arscott on one condition: He'll not participate in any of the entertainments. He is simply their escort, not an invited guest. However, as much as he tries to keep his vow, his path often crosses Lady Lucinda's while she is hiding from her court. Before long, Caleb knows none of her leaping lords will ever be worthy of her. Unfortunately, neither is he.
