THE PRESENT by Johanna Lindsey

Christopher Malory & Anastasia Stephanoff


The Mysterious Present Was Hard To Miss.

Wrapped in gold cloth, banded with a red velvet ribbon and bow, there was no indication of who it was from, nor who it was for. . .

It is Christmas time, and all is not well with the Malorys.  As the family gathers for its traditional Christmas at Haverston, there are underlying tensions between black sheep James and his wife Georgina, while Jason Malory, Marquess of Harveston, remains unable to convince Molly, the love of his life and mother of his only son, to marry him. And in the midst of the turmoil, a mysterious present arrives that will dramatically affect the lives of the whole Malory clan.

The gift is an old journal - a tender and tempestuous account of love affair between Christopher, the second Marquess of Haverston, and an enigmatic dark beauty named Anastasia. The story confirms a long-held family suspicion that their grandmother was, indeed, a gypsy. And as the magical snow adorns the landscape and festive spirits soar, there is a miraculous blossoming of romance which echoes the passion of that long-ago love affair, in this season of peace and giving and love.
