A Diamond for Christmas

In a Regency Romeo and Juliet, heady desire blossoms between a lord and a lady from warring families. Lord Geoffrey Diamond is the heir to an earldom with dash-fire to spare. There is no lady in London he ought not to be able to woo and win. Except one. Lady Caroline is vexed to learn the only man who makes her tingle is prohibited. Forbidden even to dance with Diamond, she finds herself breaking all the rules in order to follow her heart. When they take a desperate chance on happiness, will it lead to a Christmas miracle or a Christmas calamity? This Christmas novella is the prequel to USA Today bestselling author Sydney Jane Baily's new DIAMONDS OF THE FIRST WATER series. The novella was previously published in the Holiday Anthology: Naughty or Nice. The novella can be read as a standalone book.
