A Visit from Sir Nicholas: 11 [Mass Market Paperback] Alexander, Victoria

Victoria Alexander serves up a Regency Christmas romance that's equal parts charming and steamy. Lady Elizabeth Effington has sworn off rakes — a vow that lasts precisely until Sir Nicholas Collingsworth strides into her family's holiday gathering. He's arrogant, infuriating, and entirely too handsome for her own good. What begins as verbal sparring turns into something far more dangerous when a snowstorm traps them together. Alexander writes banter that crackles and sexual tension that simmers, set against a backdrop of festive country house chaos. The plot moves briskly, the chemistry is palpable, and there's enough holiday magic to make this feel genuinely seasonal without drowning in sugarplums. Perfect for readers who like their historical romance witty, their heroes reformed (or trying to be), and their happy endings tied up with a velvet bow.
