Belles & Beaux: A Bluestocking Belles collection - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Just in time for Christmas 2022 comes this boxed set of eight charming stories of love, family, and miracles. Each Belle has contributed a tale set in the festive season--one just long enough to fit in between tasks at this busy time of the year. The tales are unrelated, except by the festive season.
Some have been written for this collection, some are made-to-order stories never before published, some have been used as fan giveaways. All are delightful.
So watch for the opportunity to pour the drink of your choice, find a favourite chair, and step into one of our worlds.
