A Carolina Christmas — Jeri Odell

Charity Bradford longs for excitement after growing up within the confining walls of an orphanage, though her new job as laundress at the Biltmore Estate promises little adventure -- except for her frequent trips to the stables. There she captures the attention of young Malachi Claybrook, known to her simply as Clay. More and more, Charity dreams of her handsome stable hand, but will reality prove that appearances can be deceiving?
