Midnight with Mary — Leenie Brown

  Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam has seen the devastating effects of war both in the land where battles are fought and at home where wives are left widows and children are left fatherless. This knowledge is the foundation upon which his charitable Christmas tradition is based. It is also why he intends never to marry. For three years he has been able to carry out his mission to help those in need while never once wishing to give up his bachelorhood. However, this Christmas, when he travels to Hertfordshire, his covert tradition will be harder to carry out in an unfamiliar place, and when he asks for help, the assistance he is given by a pretty, scheming lady will be enough to make him curse his profession and long to be free to marry. Midnight with Mary is the second novelette in Leenie Brown's Sweet Extras Collection and is a sequel to Christmas in Gracechurch Street. If you like short and sweet reads that slip easily into the cracks of life, then you will enjoy this Christmas romance about two new friends discovering their love for each other and finding that, despite their shared aversion to marrying one another, some unions are simply destined to be. So put the kettle on, download your copy of Midnight with Mary, and steal away for a few moments of sweet indulgence.
