Publisher's Description
The Nutcracker and Edwardian-Era England combine to weave a magical tale of love and friendship at Christmastime. As the beloved stepdaughter of the Earl of Castleton, Lady Mariah Lyons cherishes her home at Plumford Manor, but her idyllic world will be threatened when the estate passes to Cyril Lightbourne, a childhood friend she hasn't seen or heard from in years. Once, Mariah dreamed their friendship would kindle into something more, but that was before she heard Cyril was courting the cruelhearted Lady Pearl. Now Mariah is willing to welcome him as a friend and pray he will be the heir her stepfather needs, but she'll keep her heart locked safely away from anyone with such poor taste. Cyril Lightbourne has long avoided returning to Plumford Manor, yet he reluctantly arrives in time for Christmas. When his friendship with Lady Mariah reignites, he finds himself caught between his affection for her and her family's misunderstanding of his attachment to Lady Pearl. Then, more trouble arrives in the form of a Danish lord on a mission to win Mariah's hand by Christmas. Will the magic of the holiday season help lead to the discovery of true love, or will duty to country leave all longing for what could have been?"So many delightful layers to this tale, along with intriguing characters and beautiful descriptions. . . . It really puts you in the mood for Christmas."--Melody Carlson, author of The Christmas Tree Farm and A Royal Christmas"Sugar plums, gingerbread, and all the Christmasy feels go into this charming holiday romance."--Michelle Griep, Christy Award-winning author of Once Upon a Dickens Christmas

“White’s well-woven plot is engaging from start to finish with delightful threads of mystery, romance, and inspiration.”
“Two stories are mirrored in Roseanna White’s A Noble Scheme—the mystery of a missing child and a heartbreakingly tender tale of grief and healing. With characters believable and unique, and a pace that builds suspense as the story unfolds, each thread is so compelling I couldn’t stop turning pages.”
“I love how Roseanna has cleverly “reinvented” the Sugar Plum Fairy with her brilliant new Christmas novella set in Sugar Plum Manor. So many delightful layers to this tale, along with intriguing characters and beautiful descriptions . . . it really puts you in the mood for Christmas and maybe some sweet sugar plums too!”
“Sugar plums, gingerbread, and all the Christmasy feels go into this charming holiday romance penned by reader favorite Roseanna M. White. Escape to an English country manor home where dueling suitors vie for the hand of an earl’s daughter. Who will she favor at the Christmas ball? Grab a cup of tea and curl up for a great read to find out!”
“Intrigue, romance, and danger abound in this Edwardian-era tale of two sleuths on a secret mission with entirely different motives. A Noble Scheme immerses you in English high society, where little is as it seems and love undergirds everything. Roseanna M. White’s second book in THE IMPOSTERS series is as clever as it is glamorous.”
“There are few things more joyous than stepping into the pages of a Roseanna White novel. A Beautiful Disguise has all of the hallmarks of this beloved author’s resplendent fiction: pitch-perfect historical research, a thrilling setting and perfectly paced plot, and a love story that sparks as wonderfully as Lady Marigold’s effervescent intelligence and charm. An unputdownable delight by a true master.”
