A Regency Romance Short Story (5,200 words). Reissued and New Cover!
Deidre's only brother was killed in the Napoleonic Wars, so romance is the furthest thing from her mind. However her young "niece"--Cupid's curly-haired accomplice--is determined to give Auntie Dee the best Christmas present ever.
PRAISE FOR "A Very Special Christmas Present"
* FIVE STARS! Fans of the stories set in early nineteenth century England will find this a comfortably familiar world. The setting is completely perfect, from the wonderful home and dedication to needlework, to the holiday plans, and even the focus on marriage. You will enjoy Knight's clever twist with descriptions--her snow-capped fir trees "huddle" from the cold, and main character Deidre expresses frustration by 'savagely' embroidering. Throughout, the phrasing is subtle but delightful. It's hard to say more without spoiling this one. Full of Christmas charm, Susanne Marie Knight's A Very Special Christmas Present, would make a very nice present for some lucky romance fan on your shopping list...I will certainly re-read.--Long & Short Reviews.
* This is a most refreshing story. Sometimes we judge too quickly before learning the real truth.--Romance At Heart.
* I didn't want this story to end! More, more, more!--Reader Comment
* This is the best Regency short story I've read.--Reader Comment
