About This Book
Love Blooms in Winter. Three rare, historical romance novellas by acclaimed writers Patricia Rice, Mary Jo Putney, and Susan King are collected together here for the first time in this exclusive book, "Christmas Roses: Love Blooms in Winter." "The Snow Rose," "The Black Beast of Belleterre," and "The Kissing Bough" weave tales of the joy of unexpected Love, at a special time of year, Christmas - as only these talented writers can. Discovery in the midst of a clash of clans, hidden desires from an unexpected suitor, and a love once lost and found combine for a truly romantic journey through history. The Snow Rose by Susan King A handsome dark-haired Highlander seeks shelter from a blizzard, only to discover a beautiful Scottish girl hiding in the hill cottage--and frantic to be rid of him. A collapsing roof, an adoring cow, a lost bit of treasure and unexpected passion lead them into a new year--and new love. The Black Beast of Belleterre by Mary Jo Putney Scorned for his looks since childhood, reclusive Lord Falconer rescues a fair maiden from certain persecution by offering a marriage in name only. Can gentle Ariel convince her wary husband that she can love a man who dares not reveal his face to the world? The Kissing Bough by Patricia Rice A wounded warrior reluctantly returns to the grieving family of his best friend to learn if the love he'd lost can forgive him. What he discovers is the warmth of a family holiday, and the girl he thought he'd lost, under the kissing bough... This tantalizing collection of historical romances also includes all-new introductions and recipes to add to the delight of the season.
