Synopsis

Her secret could ruin her. He knows it. This Christmas, he may be the only man she can trust.

Miss Hester Dove has not danced since a stolen love letter was read aloud to the entire Newport assembly. Three years later, she has perfected the art of remaining unnoticed.

Her pen is considerably less discreet.

As "A Salt-Marsh Wren," Hester writes anonymous verses that make half of Hampshire laugh-and the other half look nervously over their shoulders. The county believes it has heard her last embarrassing secret.

Mr. Lucius Fane knows better.

Handsome, idle, and three thousand pounds in debt, Lucius is stranded for the winter beneath the same crowded roof. He discovered Hester's identity on Michaelmas night. For a woman determined never to become a spectacle again, a charming rake with nothing to lose is a most unwelcome confidant.

Then Christmas verses appear in the newspaper under the Wren's name. They are vicious, scandalous, and aimed at the proudest family in the parish.

And Hester did not write them.

With the squire demanding vengeance, Hester must prove someone has borrowed her name to deliver a calculated insult. Her unlikely ally is the very man who could expose her.

Between Advent candles and Twelfth-cake, sharp exchanges give way to unexpected kindness. But Hester has learned what happens when she trusts someone with her heart, and Lucius has long since stopped imagining a future worth living for.

Clearing her name will require courage. Believing in each other may require rather more.

Set within a crowded, loving blended family on an Isle of Wight salt marsh, Wax and Sea Lavender is a clean, wholesome Regency Christmas romance with witty banter, a gentle mystery, and two wounded hearts finding fresh hope. Book Two of The Sea Lavender Saga can be enjoyed on its own, contains no explicit content, and promises a happy ending.
