When a husband is needed by Christmas, a trusted slender volume for ensuring a merry match is indeed a gift In this Regency delight from beloved, award-winning author Kate Moore, a spirited governess joins a gentleman spy on a daring mission: finding a mate for a jilted debutante-while drawing dangerously close to each other . . .

Behind her seemingly dependent role as an unpaid caretaker-of both children and dogs-Harriet Swanley has in fact astutely avoided a forced marriage. But hers is not the only secret under wraps: Charles Davenham is working covertly to unmask a Russian agent-until the younger sister he's always protected comes to him, recently rejected and clutching The Husband Hunter's Guide to London. The little handbook would be a godsend-if only the distraught girl didn't mangle all of its good advice If Harriet can help Charles find a love match for his sibling, perhaps, in this season of good tidings, a long-buried attraction can set their own hearts aflame . . .
