A woman discovers her daughter is being raised by a very dashing earl in this Victorian holiday romance by the author of The Christmas Heiress.

A Woman with A Past . . .

Six years ago, Rebecca Tremaine, the daughter of a vicar, became pregnant by her fiancé. When he died unexpectedly, Rebecca was heartbroken and disgraced. The child was stillbornâ??or so Rebecca believed. Now, she's both shocked and jubilant to discover that her relatives arranged for her baby girl, Lily, to be given to a distant family connectionâ??Cameron Sinclair, Earl of Hampton. The widowed earl reluctantly agrees to let Rebecca visit Lily over Christmas at his home in Kent, where she finds that the little girl, while a darling, is alarmingly spoiled . . . and the handsome, confident earl is attractive beyond measure . . .

A Love for All Seasons . . .

Graceful, tender-hearted, and completely captivating, Rebecca fills Cameron Sinclair's home with warmth and light. Ther's no denying that her concern for Lily's behavior is well-founded. Just as he knows there's also no denying the ache he feels at the thought of her departure. After his wife's death three years ago, Cameron was adamant that he could never love another woman. But as the holiday season draws to a close, he can only hope that it is not too late to admit the joy of being proven thoroughly, delightfully wrong . . .

Praise for The Christmas Countess

"Love, family, and the magic of the holiday season bring two different couples together in Basso's latest richly emotional and elegantly written Victorian historical romance." â??Bookli

"The Christmas Countess" is a heartwarming Christmas story about a woman and a man who rediscover love. I really like the way Adrienne Basso writes her love stories. They strike the right balance (for me) between light and dark--not frothy, but not heavy either.

Rebecca has suffered for anticipating her vows. She still suffers dreams of her dead baby, even after six years have passed. Then, when her father dies, she discovers those she loved most deceived her. Her baby wasn't stillborn, instead she was given to distant relatives to raise. Now all Rebecca wants is to see her daughter, and she'll do whatever it takes to accomplish that--even go through, around, or over an Earl!

The only thing that kept Cameron going after the death of his wife was his daughter Lily. She is everything to him. Now, their life is under threat--her birth mother is asking to see the child. Apparently, neither one of them were told the exact truth. After meeting Rebecca, Cameron realizes she's nothing like he had imagined...and that's NOT good.

Fabulous story about second chances. This one will join the others by Basso on my keeper shelf! ( )
