A mysterious key to an attic that cannot be found...
A ghost with good but overly ambitious intentions...
And a forgotten wager that is about to turn Miss Barrington's life into a holiday mess.
London, England - Winter of 1860
When all the ladies of London realize that handsome and refined gentleman, the Duke of Ainsley, is formally looking for a wife, only weeks before Christmas, a mad dash to claim him begin! s. Miss Barrington knows her chances with the duke are incredibly good given what her close gypsy friend had once foretold, but a forgotten wager with her greatest nemesis, American millionaire, Mr. Redstone, is about to bring on complications and...chaos.
Will she claim the dashing and respectable duke once foretold by the stars? Or will she fall for Mr. Redstone and go against destiny? Only the days leading up to Christmas will tell!
My thoughts:
I did not expect it, but yes there is a paranormal aspect. I just thought it was one of those is magic real or not books. Nope, it is real here.
The book takes place at two points in Felicity's life. First at 16 when she is taken from her Foundling Home. She has an uncle! She has a hot young neighbor! And before all this her bestie tells her she will marry a Duke, because gypsies know these things. That is where the magic comes on. Seems the gypsie does know.
The next part of the book is 6 years later. Felicity has a Duke on the hook and is just waiting for that proposal. But she can't forget Maxwell, her neighbor, that hot arrogant neighbor.
Oh and then there is her mother's ghost and a mysterious key. And yes the ghost is real, and the secrets are juicy.
Romance, drama, and a lot of bickering between these two lovers.

DeleteI wouldn't have expected the paranormal part there but it's nice and I haven't seen a lot of gypsies in HR, so I'm quote curious about that fact.
