About this listen

When an errant Earl and a feisty schoolteacher are snowed in together over Christmas, mistletoe promises happen…

All alone in a girls’ school in Bath. This is not how Frances Littleworth imagined she’d celebrate Christmas. But when a handsome stranger unexpectedly collapses on the doorstep, the kind-hearted schoolteacher decides to take him in and nurse him back to health. At least it won’t feel quite so lonesome on Christmas, with this fever-garbling stranger to tend to. When the grateful but mysterious convalescent insists she hire him as a drawing master, Frances hesitates. For this man’s flirtatious charm is a dangerous threat to the careful order of her life—and her well-guarded heart.

Mr Percy Tiverton, future Earl of Halsford, disillusioned nobleman and divinely talented artist, has never had to work in his entire life. Yet he is determined to prove that he can fend for himself without relying on his father’s fortune, using solely his artistic talents. If only he can convince this stubborn but enchanting woman that he is serious about his position—and her. For he has never met a woman quite like her. So sweet. So stubborn. So kissable!

As the school’s substitute headmistress, Frances is determined to maintain a professional relationship with the new teacher and keeps the charming stranger at an arm’s length. She cannot afford to lose her position again over a mere flirtation. Yet what should she do when her heart races every time he glances at her?

Then there is this fateful encounter under the mistletoe….

A sweet, heart-warming Christmas Regency romance to fall in love with.

The students as well as other teachers were away for the Christmas holidays. Frances Littleworth was installed as the Headmistress Representative at the school in Bath where she taught music.
A steady stream of snowflakes shot down from the sky. A very charming young man, Percy Tiverton knocked at the door in reply to an advertisement for a thoroughly competent drawing-master. His father, the Earl of Halsford, considered him as a disgrace to his name, and had utterly discarded him.
The snow prostrated him for three days at the school. Frances managed him with unquestionable care and discretion. Percy beheld this God-kissed angel whose countenance was absolutely sweet, and her voice and manner winningly mild. It soothed his soul. He kissed her hand in grateful acknowledgment.
The snow storm was at its fullest. Percy tried to finish a sketch of Frances as nicely and prettily as he could. Frances found his drawings extremely beautiful, and loved his warm, adorable kind of grin. He was a really irresistible man — courteous, considerate, delightfully free from pride — a gentleman, every inch of him.
While this genuine dainty beauty was determined to be formal and reserved in his company, it was impossible for Percy to take the faintest vestige of a liberty with her.

He wanted to stretch his wings.
