A Tale of Two Hearts

A pretend wife, a Christmas deadline and an inheritance at stake
Reading guide
This is a single book, so simply begin at the opening page. The story moves steadily towards its Christmas Day deadline, so reading it in one or two sittings suits the pace.
Mina Scott, an innkeeper's daughter in London in 1853, longs for a life beyond the inn. When William Barlow asks her to pose as his wife until his uncle names an heir on Christmas Day, she agrees, and both of them soon regret the bargain.

Description

London, 1853. Innkeeper's daughter Mina Scott is tired of serving customers day after day and dreams of becoming a real lady. Her hopes settle on William Barlow, a charming but penniless gentleman's son who often stays at the inn.

When William asks Mina to play his wife until his bachelor uncle names an heir on Christmas Day, she agrees, and almost at once they both wish she hadn't. Michelle Griep's Christian historical romance combines Victorian manners, a thread of suspense and a festive deadline. It is a warm, brisk read for anyone who likes their love stories gentle, hopeful and wrapped up in Christmas.
