In 1837, the six Cynster families, their servants and others in
their circle like tutors come to Casphairn Manor in Scotland to enjoy the
holidays. Attracted to each other, Daniel
Crosbie (tutor to the sons of Lucifer and Phyllida) and Claire Meadows (governess
to the daughter of Rupert and Alathea) especially look forward to the extended
family gathering as this gives them an opportunity to see each other.
Daniel patiently waited until he is on sound financial footing
before he asks Claire to marry him.
Though she believes she loves the kind honest tutor, the widow refuses
as being married once was one time too many for her. However, Daniel knows who he wants to spend
his life with so he continues to court his reluctant Medy.
The second Cynster Christmas special (see The Promise in a Kiss) is
a pleasant holiday historical with a large cast (a listing helps with who
belongs to whom) that includes the romance between the two likable employees, the
return of leads from the previous twenty novels and the introduction to the
Cynster offspring who will probably lead in a new Victorian series. Targeting her fans, Stephanie Laurens authors
a warm (even in snowy Scotland) Yuletide treat.
