An overworked attorney’s grandmother will stop at nothing to find her a date for Christmas in this heartwarming holiday love story about finding what really matters in life. As a first-year law associate, Sydney Batson knows she will be updating her resume by New Year’s if she loses her current case. So when her grandmother gets inexplicably ill while Sydney is in court, she arranges for a cab to take her grandmother to the clinic. The last thing cab driver Finn Parrish wants is to be saddled with a wheelchair-bound old lady with dementia. But because Miss Callie reminds him of his own mother, whom he failed miserably in her last days, he can’t say no when she keeps calling him for rides. Once a successful gourmet chef, Finn’s biggest concern now is paying his rent, but half the time Callie doesn’t remember to pay him. And as she starts to feel better, she leads him on wild-goose chases to find a Christmas date for her granddaughter. When Finn meets Sydney, he’s quite certain she’s never needed help finding a date. Does Miss Callie have an ulterior motive, or is this just a mission driven by delusions? He’s willing to do whatever he can to help fulfill Callie’s Christmas wish.

The notorious members of the Heirs’ Club are rogues who don’t believe in love—until they meet the women who can beat them at their own game. For the first time, together in one wickedly romantic e-bundle, Amelia Grey’s The Heirs’ Club of Scoundrels series: THE DUKE IN MY BED: Bray, the future Duke of Drakestone, can’t resist a challenge—even one that results in him being forced to marry one of his challenger’s five sisters, sight unseen. Except Miss Louisa Prim has no intention of marrying Bray, and with her rejection just another challenge, all bets are off in this game of love. THE EARL CLAIMS A BRIDE: The newest member of the Heirs’ Club, Harrison Thornwick’s carefree days as a reckless rogue are behind him after tragedy strikes and makes him the head of his family’s estate. Now the Prince himself strongly suggests he marry Miss Angelina Rule. Both Harrison and his bride-to-be dislike their arrangement, so they devise a scheme to work in both their favors...until a desire neither one of them expected becomes too powerful for them to deny. WEDDING NIGHT WITH THE EARL: Adam, the Earl of Greyhawke, is through with marriage and is more interested in carousing and gambling at the Heirs’ Club. But when he’s thrust back into Society, an encounter with the witty Miss Katherine Wright tests Adam’s resolve in remaining a bachelor. He decides their powerful attraction may be worth the risk of falling in love.

From four beloved writers—Eloisa James, Christi Caldwell, Janna MacGregor, and Erica Ridley—come four original stories that tell a hilarious tale of a Christmas house party that serves up love and scandal in equal measure! The Duke of Greystoke’s Christmas Revelry is famous throughout the British Isles for its plays, dancing, magical grotto… not to mention scandals leading to the marriage licenses he hands out like confetti. But not everyone welcomes a visit from Cupid. Lady Cressida, the duke’s daughter, is too busy managing the entertainments—and besides, her own father has called her dowdy. Her cousin, Lady Isabelle Wilkshire, is directing Cinderella and has no interest in marriage. Lady Caroline Whitmore is already (unhappily) married; the fact that she and her estranged husband have to pretend to be together just makes her dread the party all the more. But not as much as Miss Louisa Harcourt, whose mother bluntly tells her that this is her last chance to escape the horrors of being an old maid.
