About this listen
Award-winning author, Violet Sinclair brings you A Marquess for Christmas
A daring young lady. A scandalous marquess. A holiday season neither will ever forget.
Lady Emmeline St. Clair never intended to be the center of attention. As the substitute guest at Hollybrook Manor’s grand Christmas gathering, she’s resigned to navigating the perils of high society: meddling relatives, biting scandals, and her aunt’s unrelenting matchmaking schemes. But when she encounters the infuriatingly charming Marquess of Hawthorne—who also happens to be hiding a dangerous secret—Emmeline finds herself drawn into a web of intrigue far more thrilling than she bargained for.
Lord Benjamin Hawthorne has always embraced his reputation as a rake, but beneath his roguish exterior lies a man with a cause worth risking everything for. When a daring rescue lands him in Emmeline’s orbit, her sharp tongue and fierce determination prove as irresistible as they are exasperating. As they join forces to orchestrate a daring Christmas Eve escape for an unjustly accused man, their partnership becomes more than a battle of wits—it becomes a battle for their hearts.
With every stolen glance and every moment under the mistletoe, Emmeline and Hawthorne discover that love often arrives in the most unexpected ways—and at the most inconvenient times. But with scandal looming and their plan spiraling into chaos, can a clever young lady and a scandalous marquess outwit their foes and claim their Christmas miracle?
Perfect for fans of sparkling wit, heart-pounding romance, and daring escapades, *A Marquess for Christmas* is a Regency holiday romance that will leave you enchanted from the first page to the last.

Story
Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story
Charles Ellsworth is a young Englishman on his triumphant Grand Tour when the dissolution of his family fortunes and his own recklessness leave him stranded and in debt. He enters service as a tutor in the household of M. Tremblay, with nothing but his wits and the kindness shown him by an elderly maid to depend on. Pretty Jeanne Martineau played ingenue roles with a traveling theatre company before the manager absconded with the receipts. Now she works as a maid for the rakish M. Tremblay to avoid starvation, but escaping his groping hands requires she don the disguise of a hideous old woman.
