Pamela Ashburton's dreams of a London Season meet with disaster at her very first ball. When her humiliation is exaggerated by the caustic attitude of her mother and sister, she goes to live with her aunt in Worcestershire. Four years later, she is well on her way to spinsterhood.

Will Forsyth, a veteran of the Peninsular War, retreats to Worcestershire in hope of a quiet, solitary life that will heal more than his physical wounds. But it's the Christmas season, and when Pamela requests Will's help to find mistletoe for her aunt's Twelfth Night ball, what's an officer and a gentleman to do?

From Romancing the Book


Regency rules and taboos in early 1800s stifled individuals that didn't abide by dictates of Society, but strong personalities seem to find their way to survive and thrive. While Pamela and Will may be "Two self-made Pariahs", they whet each others interest and enjoy "conversation without obligation or insinuation" in the isolation of an enchanting country glade.

The humor that under-girds this story makes it delightfully captivating. The characters, well-developed for a short novella, depict the diversity of the people in the community. . . .

Best of all, the hero and heroine, ignoring social pressures, find a joy in life as they search for mistletoe, survive the surprise of the 'fallout' of the adventure, and take control of their own lives. The climax at the Twelfth Night Ball makes the heart sing with joy.

Mistletoe Moment is incredibly entertaining- a short and sweet, enchanting love story.
