My True Love Gave to Me
Book 1 of the The Marvelous Munroes series
231 pages · First published 1998
A Regency Christmas courtship borrows its structure and playful spirit from the familiar carol about twelve increasingly extravagant gifts. A gentleman’s romantic intentions collide with the practical realities of family, society, and a heroine who may not interpret every gesture the way he expects. Seasonal gatherings give each new offering an opportunity to advance—or complicate—the relationship. Regina Scott’s clean historical holiday romance combines Christmas tradition, humor, and courtship in a light story about discovering which gift actually communicates love.
