Saddened by Honora’s tragic death under such dark and mysterious circumstances, Adam must also contend with the pain of his father’s sudden passing. But when Adam encounters Evie at his father’s funeral, it’s as though he sees a beacon of light in a storm-tossed sea. Drawn to the intelligent and beautiful young woman, Adam can’t help but feel his heart stirring back to life.

When her father accepts an offer of marriage to secure Susan’s future, her dreams disappear in one fell swoop. But when Susan’s younger brother, Alexander, falls ill with a mysterious illness, Susan dismisses her girlhood fancies in a desperate race against time to discover the source of Alexander’s illness.
A romantic reunion…

But when his childhood friend Susan, shows up on his doorstep, Grayson forgets about courting the woman of his dreams and does everything in his power to help Susan save her brother’s life. With Christmastide fast approaching, Susan and Grayson will need a miracle or two to get them through…
THE DUKE’S GOLDEN BELLE
He needs a duchess…
Michael Ballard, the seventh Duke of Clarence hates being a duke, a title that was supposed to belong to his older brother Daniel if he hadn’t died in a reckless riding accident just weeks after their father’s passing. And thanks to a marriage contract signed by their father, Michael now finds himself betrothed to Lady Isabelle Griffith. It’s not that Michael is opposed to the idea of marriage, just being forced into one. Not only is Lady Isabelle his sister’s best friend from childhood but she was meant to marry Daniel. How in the world is Michael supposed to see her as his future wife?
She needs a miracle…

An arranged marriage forces them together, but secret fears might drive them apart. Can the Christmas season work its magic with the golden glow of love?

★★★★★ “What a true delight and warming story. The Duke's Golden Rings: Fifth Day of Christmas: Noble Hearts Series by Anna St. Claire is a wonderful and heartfelt story of the Christmas season and a must read. I found Anna’s story original, easy to read and her characters lovable. Anna has a true gift for writing and you will not be disappoint in reading this regency novella. This story has death, grief, family love, a duel, being dishonorable, a young girl who has grown to a beautiful women, rescue, not truly being in love, kindness, and falling in love. It has it all and I highly recommend this novella.” Kat Tolle
★★★★★ “A sweet and emotional Christmas story that will surely pull at your heartstrings. This is such a well-written story that will warm your heart and I was captivated from the very start. With each turn of the page, I was anxious to read more. Adam and Evie were childhood friends and had gone their separate ways. Evie adored Adam, but never told him her true feelings. After a tragic loss, they have a chance to rekindle that friendship which may just turn into something more. This was such a sweet and heartfelt story with wonderful and endearing characters, you can't help but fall in love with them. A truly beautiful holiday story you do not want to miss!” ~ Anonymous 5
Silver Bells and Mistletoe
★★★★★ “Beautifully written, enjoyable read. You want nothing more then the happiness for the main characters. Perfect for a weekend read!” ~ Maureen V.
★★★★★ “Come along as the madcap of mischief and mayhem insue during the beginning of the holiday festivities. Laugh at the banter, guilt, and internal debate for Susan and some on Grayson's have. This is an easy,fast read with great characters and world building.” ~ Lady Moon aka Luna Moon
★★★★★ “This is an interesting and endearing holiday story. It was a little unpredictable, hard to put down. There is a romance, a little scheme to help the romance along, and a mystery. Grayson and his friends may have the answer to the mystery, her younger brother’s illness. Grayson and Susan are meant to be together. Their happy ending is a Christmastide miracle for them and for their families. Wonderful story, great characters. Loved it.” ~ PeggyC51
★★★★★ “A beautifully written Regency novel that highlights the fact that not everyone who has inherited a title is pleased. I was impressed that the new Earl, Grayson, had made the most of his life before receiving his title by becoming a physician. That forethought is key to the novel and sets up a positive encounter in the story. Susan’s father’s manipulations are a definite mystery and I went from disliking him to having to laugh. Sometimes, father really does know best! Since I love novels with a Christmas theme, silver Bells and Mistletoe will go on my Christmas re-read shelf!” Mary K.
★★★★★ “Another beautiful story by Ms. St. Claire! I have read just about every book she has produced and they keep getting better! I loved Susan and Grayson’s story. The characters were lovingly written and the story (itself) was written to perfection. I will definitely recommend this book!” ~ lilirishpiper1982
