About this ebook

Miss Amelia Fortescue, the only child of profligate gambler, Baron Fortescue, wants to marry for love, but her parents won’t wait for that. They need her as bait to land a wealthy son-in-law to pay off their debts.

Wealthy banker and former soldier, Major Adam Wellworth, fell in love with Amelia from afar. Before he could gain an introduction, Bonaparte escaped and Adam was forced to rejoin the army. Back in England months later, with an injury that’s proving hard to shake off, his love for Amelia hasn’t diminished. He seeks the Fortescue’s permission to court her, but it comes with conditions.

Adam invites the Fortescues to his estate for the Christmas week, so Amelia can get to know him. However, his plan goes horribly awry before they arrive, when Amelia’s parents tell her she’ll be married on Christmas Day.

Amelia’s not going to be forced to marry anyone, especially someone she’s never met! Instead, helped by a handsome gentleman, she becomes the Runaway Christmas Bride.

Can Adam escort Amelia to her great-aunt for Christmas without her discovering his identity? And how does he reveal his name afterwards without earning her loathing? Only a Christmas miracle could untangle this mess.

When Amelia Fortescue discovers her parents’ marriage plans for her to wed a stranger, she makes a run for it. Adam Wells saves her from a drunk at the local inn where she takes refuge until the coach arrives that will take her to Bath, knowing she will be safe with her aunt. Much to her surprise Adam joins her on her journey and he escorts her to her aunt’s door. Major Adam Wellworth, hiding behind the pseudonym of Adam Wells hopes that he will be able to change Amelia’s views regarding him and sets out to win her over. An unfortunate meeting blows his plan apart and Amelia is none too happy with him. This is a sweet and clean Regency romance where a strong minded young lady takes measures to determine her own future, while the prospective groom has the wisdom to realise that he is not going to gain her trust by force. I received a copy of this well written novelette as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

I enjoyed this book from the first page to the last one. I am going to be rereading this story closer to Christmas. This is Major Adam Wellworth and Miss Amelia Fortescue's story and I really enjoyed the interaction between these two. I received a copy of this book and I liked it so much I also bought.
