      He left to save his family...

      Now he’s back!

      Nicholas of Mei Solis swore to do anything to protect his home—even going away to fight for it. This meant leaving beautiful Matilda, too. Now Nicholas has returned briefly to lay to rest the ghosts of his past. But one look at Matilda, now widowed and with child, changes everything. Suddenly Nicholas is compelled to stay...and to take back the future they both thought they’d lost...

      —RT Book Reviews on The Knight’s Scarred Maiden

      “Locke doesn’t disappoint. Her Christmas Knight is empowering and romantic with a darker undercurrent... I absolutely recommend. It’s just so good!”

      —Goodreads on Her Christmas Knight

      NICOLE LOCKE discovered her first romance novels in her grandmother’s closet, where they were secretly hidden. Convinced that books that were hidden must be better than those that weren’t, Nicole greedily read them. It was only natural for her to start writing them—but now not so secretly.

      This book is dedicated to the wonderful, brilliant,

      marvellous editors who have helped me along the

      journey in the Lovers and Legends series. For

      Linda Fildew, who took a chance on me, for

      Nicola Caws, who shared her friendship and

      showed me the ropes, and for Ann-Leslie Tuttle,

      who welcomed me on my transition to the US.

      But especially this book is dedicated to Laurie Johnson,

      who stuck by me this troublesome year. Nicholas,

      Matilda and I wouldn’t have our happily-ever-after

      without your unfailing encouragement. I thank you

      with all my heart and with all my fingers, finally…

      and happily…dancing across the keyboard once again.
