New York Times bestselling author Lisa Kleypas's sparking tale of love, romance, and Christmas magic, set in Victorian London, in which the irresistible Wallflowers help steer the course of true love for a notorious wealthy American and his reluctant British bride.
The search for true love brought the Wallflowers together. Now happily married, these four delightful society women reunite once again to help a notorious rogue find happiness under the Christmas mistletoe.
Rafe Bowman has arrived in London to meet the aristocratic young woman he hopes to marry--Natalie Blandford, the very proper and beautiful daughter of Lord and Lady Blandford. But the dashing American's shocking reputation has preceded him. Before he can claim Natalie's heart, Rafe must learn to navigate the conventions of London society to win her hand.
Even with the best teachers-- four former Wallflowers experienced in the art of matchmaking--the wildly rich and very impatient Rafe discovers that wooing a bride is far more complicated than he expected. But Christmas is a time of magic--when a rake can become a romantic ... and ignite passion in even the most strait-laced young lady's heart.
