From the New York Times bestselling author of the Mad Morelands series, comes a heartwarming tale, the first in an enthralling series, of Christmastime love, discovery, and scandal.
When plain and proper Thea Bainbridge stumbles upon a baby in the manger of her church's nativity, she is understandably shocked. Discovering a brooch bearing the insignia of Gabriel, Lord Morecombe, hidden among the child's clothing, she is certain the dissolute rake is to blame. Incensed, Thea sets out to reproach the arrogant lord—only to find herself utterly swept away.

Gabriel is intrigued by the vivacity in Thea's flashing gray eyes when she accuses him of fathering the orphan, even as he adamantly maintains his innocence. The brooch is one he remembers all too well, however, and Gabriel is determined to find the mother of the missing child. As the mystery around the baby deepens, Gabriel is continually thrown together with Thea—and finds himself growing more entranced every day.

Even with whispers of winter scandal swirling around them, they cannot deny the longing in their hearts. A longing which promises the best gift of all: a shelter from the storm...in each other's arms.

      Bestseller Camp (An Affair Without End) launches a Regency trilogy with this sweet smalltown tale. Thea Bainbridge, a plain-faced “old maid” of 27, pines over Lord Gabriel Morecombe, who seems to have entirely forgotten the torrid kiss he and Thea shared 10 years before. Then Thea finds an abandoned baby in the church’s Nativity display, his clothes pinned with a brooch matching the Morecombe signet ring. Gabriel denies fathering the child and sweeps Thea away on a quest to find young Matthew’s parents and get back in time for the squire’s Christmas ball. Readers will enjoy the Austenesque details of village life as Camp piles up a soap opera’s worth of affairs and betrayals.

      A vicar's daughter, Thea Bainbridge is considered long in the tooth and too much of a bluestocking to ever be wed. Her life with her brother, who replaced their father as vicar, is unbearably dull. Then Thea finds a live baby in the Christmas manger, and her world turns upside down. The baby's diaper is closed with a brooch with Lord Gabriel Morecombe's insignia on it, so Thea immediately assumes that that the infant is one of his illegitimate offspring. But Gabriel is as puzzled by the baby as Thea is. Together, they try to find the real parents. A neat mystery, a dollop of danger, and, of course, a steamy love story make Camp's latest Regency romance a sure crowd-pleaser.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
