UPDATE: As noted in the comments, the wrong file was delivered to all preorders. If you got this from Amazon, here’s what to do:
A Christmas Quintet
The Bluestocking Belles bring you five charming stories for your holiday season:
- Friends to Lovers—The farmer’s daughter, the viscount’s son, and the estate manager reunite as adults. Della is starry-eyed for the viscount’s son, but is he really the one for her? (Regency, Christmas)
- Fake Relationship—When the pressure to marry is overwhelming, can a plan put in place at a Christmas house party turn into a love that will last forever? (Regency, Christmas)
- Second-Chance Love—An accident leaves the modiste burned, blinded and in despair until the physician offers hope and stirs memories. (Regency, Christmas)
- Country Mouse and Marriage-Shy Duke—Invited at the last minute to make up the numbers, she expects to be an interested observer. The duke has other ideas. (Georgian, Twelfth Night)
- Two Spies, One Secret—Trapped in a deserted wilderness, will they set aside secrets and past betrayals to rekindle their love and ring in the New Year together? (Medieval, Hogmanay)

My contribution is Maryanne and the Twelfth Knight
Maryanne is only at the house party as chaperone for her half-sister. She is far too old and insignificant to attract the attention of a duke. Or, at least, if he is pursuing her it cannot be for honorable purposes. Can it?
Dell knows it is time to take a wife, but the offerings of the marriage mart bore him to tears. The only lady of interest at his sister’s house party is the spinster chaperone. But she isn’t eligible, is she?
I ordered the ebook version from Amazon but when it arrived recently only one story was in it. I have had to contact Amazon to report this and have been sent a refund. In the meantime I have also ordered the paperback copy and hope that a full ebook edition will soon be available which I will then order.
Hi, Gillian. I am so sorry you had this experience. The Bluestocking Belles don’t know how the wrong file was attached to the book. We are so embarrassed and so upset that our readers have had this experience.
The correct file is now available on Amazon. I’ve just opened a sample from the Amazon sales page in the US store, and have checked the table of contents and the story that shows up as part of the sample. Just to be on the safe side, would you mind doing the same before you click “buy now”?
Thank you so much for contacting me to let me know your experience.
Hello Jude, I have tried returning my faulty copy and reordering. Despite the version now on show on Amazon uk indicating that it has 293 pages when I placed the new order I only got the wrong one again.
Just to keep you up to date. I have just spent about half an hour online with Amazon and they have acknowledged that they still have a problem with the “back end” of things so it may well be next week before things get resolved. At least I should get the paperback version before to long!
Oh, no! That’s so annoying. They have assured Susana that they will be sending out emails to all purchasers asking them to update their version. It could take up to 24 hours, they say. Please let me know how you get on.
Gillian, note the latest update, above. We think it is fixed, but it is still, oh so annoying!
Hi Jude, it has been sorted. I have now got both the ebook and the paperback. Thanks for everything
I’m so glad! I hope you are enjoying it.
