        There are two Christmas tales in this anthology -- the first and
last   stories.                    The
Viscount's   Angel, which is the last story in the book, was  described by the editor as:  
        "This is perhaps the most romantic story in the bunch, with an appealing, 
   noble hero and a wronged and lovely heroine. A dreadful carriage accident 
   at Christmas time brings Stephen, a wounded veteran of the Peninsular Wars,
   and Sarah, a single mother, together at the most magical time of the year,
   when all wounds are healed, and true love flowers."

   Guest in The Winter Holiday Sampler
                           
                          * The Unexpected Guest won the Regency Press Winter Holiday Contest 
                           
        All seventeen of the stories in this anthology take place between 
the   beginning  of Advent and Twelfth Night, and all are set in Regency England.
  There are  stories about the winter solistice, Hanukkah, Christmas, New
Year's  Eve, and Twelfth Night.  
           In The Unexpected
Guest,     when Colonel Cameron delivers military dispatches to Oakwood
Manor, he  hopes  for a steaming bath and a hot meal before he leaves. He
gets much more than  he bargains for -- or dreams of -- because Lady Sophia
has other ideas concerning  this very attractive military man.
