The Duke Gave His Wife Five Old Servants He Wanted Gone — By Christmas His Mother Moved In Too

The morning after his wedding, Maximilian Thorne, the young Duke of Larkminster, hands his new bride an iron key and a list of five names. She is to live alone in the shabby dower house across the park, and with her go five old servants his clever land agent wants gone: a frail butler, a weeping cook, a half-blind gardener, a tiny lady's maid and a lame coachman. Blanche Page, a cloth-maker's daughter married only for her dowry, does not cry. She turns the cold house into the warmest home in Wiltshire, and by Christmas even the Duke's proud, estranged mother has moved in with her. But those five old servants were not sent away for being old. They were sent away because of what they saw, and the man who wants them silenced will stop at nothing. Between a thief in the night, a secret rent book, a stolen will, a cruel accusation before the whole county, and a house set ablaze in the snow, a proud duke learns what a true home is worth. Settle in for a full-length Christmas romance of kindness, justice and second chances.
