Christmas in Carinthia: A Holiday Romance Novella
Dorothea Dornbach is on the verge of spinsterhood, and that's just how she likes it. Once Vienna’s boring bachelors have finally given up pursuing her, she’ll finally be free to pursue her great passions: botany, gardening, and being left alone. All she has to do is survive one interminable Christmas party at the house of dull, priggish, annoyingly handsome Gerhardt von Holstadt.
It’s been three years since Gerhardt’s father passed away, and the young count isn’t entirely confident about hosting his first Christmas party at the family estate. With high-society guests to look after and a thousand events to plan, he has more than enough on his plate. A visit from Dorothea, the most irritating prankster of his childhood, can only make things worse.
Dorothea is expecting weeks of sheer boredom. Gerhardt is expecting an utter disaster. But circumstances - including a midnight surgery, a secret passage, and a long-buried family secret - keep bringing them together, and the outcome is more of a surprise than any Christmas gift.
Christmas in Carinthia is a novella of approximately 20,000 words. It is a sweet romance with no explicit scenes.

Unshakeable: A Viennese Romance
Cultures clash in this steamy historical romance set in glittering Vienna.
Countess Marta von Holstadt knows society’s rules, even if she doesn’t enjoy following them. A lady keeps her mouth shut, marries well, and never works for a living. And she certainly does not spend her entire birthday party admiring a hired violinist, no matter how handsome he is. Hiring him as her music tutor, though—that could make Marta’s restricted life a bit more lively.
Andras Király is certainly talented, but frankly, he’s struggling. Working at a second-rate opera company means he can barely support himself, let alone a sick father and three sisters in Hungary. Tutoring Marta von Holstadt could help him stave off financial ruin. But his family’s revolutionary past, coupled with a growing attraction to his new student, could turn Andras’ amazing opportunity into a disaster.
Though class and country divide them, Marta and Andras can’t ignore their chemistry forever. As a highly improper romance develops, they’re forced to consider if an artist and aristocrat can have a future together … and the consequences of getting caught.
