Lady Sophie's Christmas Wish / Grace Burrowes / 404 pages / R. T. Reviewer's Choice Award

An abandoned baby first brought Lady Sophia Windham and Wilhelm Lucifer Charpentier together.  Jolene, the baby's mama, left Kit with Sophie to see to business and never came back.  The baby set to wailing and Sophie was at a loss at what to do.  Vim stepped forward, knew precisely what to do for Kit, and decided with the snowstorm brewing, his reluctance to reach Sidling, and Sophie's inexperience, he best accompany them to the Windham estate.  Vim is not aware that Sophie is a titled lady.  Her family has gone to Kent for the holidays and has dismissed the servants escept for a couple of aged grooms.  Sophie is to meet them there accompanied by her three brothers.  She had wanted some time alone so she told her family that she wanted to stay behind awhile to visit with a nearby friend.  Visit she did...but with Vim and Kit and formed lasting attachments.  Although the love scenes leave little to the imagination, the storyline is enjoyable and banter between the brothers is quite humorous.
