Regency Royal Navy Christmas: Anthology — Carla Kelly
Even the squared away, efficient Royal Navy must surrender to the joys and misadventures of a Regency Christmas. Four stories shine a light on Christmas during the Napoleonic Wars on land and sea...
In Boxing the Compass, a homesick frigate captain shepherding a convict convoy to Australia wants nothing more than to hold his infant daughter in faraway England. Perhaps he can enlist a prickly pair of convicts with a new baby to help him.
Wait Here for the Present finds a spinster, chafing with boredom, helping a motherless lad get to Plymouth for Christmas with his surgeon father. She can help, but love is the farthest thing from her mind.
In Slip #5, Captain McCulloch's ship, HMS Trident, must spend a month in dry dock in Devonport. What better time to catch up on his reading? His plans are complicated by a bad cold, a good widow and her children, shy lovers, and dilemmas it seems only he can solve. Whatever happened to peace and quiet?
As a special bonus, The Christmas Angle introduces readers of the acclaimed St. Brendan series to that unlikely genius, Sailing Master Able Six.
Readers are requested and required to come aboard for a Royal Navy holiday.
