by Bianca Blythe

Yet when a handsome earl discovers she is not who she says she is, Flora needs a new position quickly.Christmas has never been Lord McIntyre's favorite season, but after his sister's engagement is broken, the earl vows to host a magnificent ball so she can find a husband.

After his secretary spots an advertisement for a Christmas consultant, he hires her.The earl is shocked when his friend's maid appears at his manor house in Scotland. Will he let her create a Christmas to remember? Can Flora escape her past? And what happens when Flora must leave?
Flora has been masquerading as a French maid for years. Though she despises having to hide her skill at the piano and has no innate fondness for mending, she is happy to no longer be on the run. When a handsome earl who sent butterflies fluttering through her chest as a child discovers her French is atrocious, Flora is in immediate need of a new position, lest her true identity be discovered.
Christmas has never been Lord Wolfe McIntyre's favorite season. His parents never celebrated it, and he never thought he would succumb to sentimentality as an adult. After all, he runs a gaming hell. But after his sister's engagement is broken, Wolfe vows to host a magnificent holiday ball so his sister can find a husband before the next season. The only problem? His lack of knowledge about the holiday.
Wolfe is shocked when his friend's maid appears at his manor house in Scotland. When he hired a Christmas consultant, he was expecting a stern Bavarian woman with a knowledge of Yule logs, not an alluring young woman whom he last saw claiming a blatantly false identity and who seems distressed at seeing him. Wolfe is even more shocked when he discovers he... desires her. Earls are certainly not supposed to find their servants appealing, no matter how much they fill their homes with Yuletide joy and music. But perhaps there's a reason Flora looks familiar...
