Merry Little Match: A Sweet Christmas Victorian Romance by Celine Rachelle, Rachelle
An earl’s daughter should never be caught gasping at gossip, let alone be the cause of it. But Lady Clara Ashford has always been a rule-breaker.

Whispers of Clara's scandalous schemes swirl through the drawing rooms of London’s elite. Infamous for her wild antics—from clandestine book clubs devouring Byron’s most daring works to her perpetually muddied hems — Clara’s escapades leave every mother in the marriage mart clutching their pearls in horror.

But her reckless freedom comes to a crashing halt when she returns home to find her father gravely ill. With her family’s fortune poised to slip into the grasp of a conniving cousin, Clara and her sister Evie stand on the brink of ruin right as Christmas approaches. Their cousin Rupert’s schemes to force Evie into marriage, unless Clara can stop him.

Clara’s scheming leads to a brilliant she’s going to turn their annual Yuletide house party into a husband hunt for Evie. If she can marry off her to someone with enough power and influence, she can protect the estate.

However, she didn’t account for someone ready to thwart her at every turn.

When the infuriating Nicolaus Croft uncovers Clara’s plans to ensnare his friend in matrimony, they are caught in a battle of wits. Unbeknownst to her, Nicolaus might be the key to saving her family—but only if they can navigate their growing attraction and work together to expose Rupert's criminal activities.

As Christmas balls turn into scandalous disasters and mistletoe mischief abounds, Clara must outwit both her cousin and her own feelings to save her family before it’s too late.
