Caroline Lee's Christmas Collection: Six sweet historical western romances

by Caroline Lee

  And how could I possible write a story about the Gilded Age—so called because of the thin veneer of gold that covered the rottenness of society—without comparing the absolute wealth of families like the Carderocks to the day-to-day existence of people like the Gudowicz family? I hope that Reggie, who was able to see both sides of the “gilding,” helped readers understand the dichotomy of society at the time. For goodness’ sakes: he wears a doctor’s apron over his tuxedo! (The tuxedo was referred to as just a “dinner jacket” until around 1888, when society’s playboys and social elites wore it to events around Tuxedo Park in the Hudson Valley. As America’s answer to Beau Brummell, Griswold Lorillard popularized the new fashion—and new name—among Manhattan society.)

  I hope that you’ve enjoyed Annie’s story. I couldn’t stand the thought of her not getting her Happily Ever After, so I decided to add to the apparently inaccurately-named Sweet Cheyenne Quartet.

  If you haven’t read the rest of the series, I suggest that you begin with A Cheyenne Christmas, the story of how the Murray sisters met the Barker brothers. My personal favorite of the bunch is Nate and Wendy’s story in A Cheyenne Christmas Homecoming, which might also help put Where They Belong in context. You can also learn all about Sebastian and Serena’s courtship, as well as oralism instruction in A Cheyenne Celebration.

  If you’ve enjoyed the history behind Where They Belong, I urge you to find me on Facebook, where I frequently post fascinating pieces of social history that I find while researching. I also post increasingly snarky stories about my clumsiness, my kids, and my love of wine.

  About the Author

  Caroline Lee has been reading romance for so long that her fourth-grade teacher used to make her cover her books with paper jackets. But it wasn't until she (mostly) grew up that she realized she could write it too. So she did.

  Caroline is living her own little Happily Ever After in NC with her husband, sons, and brand-new daughter, Princess Wiggles. And while she doesn't so much "suffer" from Pittakionophobia as think that all you people who enjoy touching Band-Aids and stickers are the real weirdos, she does adore rodents, and never met a wine she didn't like. Caroline was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year in 2006 (just like everyone else) and is really quite funny in person. Promise.
