Mistletoe Kisses

The Last Chance Christmas Ball Anthology
As a young bride, Lady Holbourne held her first ball at Christmas. Now she’s a dowager in her seventies and “Lady Holly’s” annual Christmas Ball has become a beloved tradition. And since Lady Holly is an inveterate match-maker, some irreverently call it Lady Holly’s “last chance Christmas ball.”
This year, in the Christmas of 1815, Lady Holly’s guests include a dashing rake, a wounded soldier, an unhappy young bride, an unexpected old flame, an impoverished spinster, and more. For all of these people, the ball is indeed, their last chance for happiness. . .
We invite you to put on your dancing slippers, break out a mug of egg-nog and come with us to Lady Holly’s Last Chance Christmas ball.
