From #1 New York Times bestselling author, Victoria Alexander, a second-chance romance Christmas novella—with the naughtiest dogs in England!!
Sir Oliver Stanhope's beloved late great-aunt, who raised him so devotedly, has charged Oliver with the care of her adorable—but very naughty—
Yorkshire terriers, Melchoir, Balthazar, and Gaspar. Thankfully, she’s also arranged for D.K. Lawrence, celebrated dog trainer to the aristocracy, to help train the little terrors.
But when Diana K. Lawrence, once the love of Oliver’s life, arrives on his doorstep with her giant Great Dane in tow, Oliver wonders how he’ll survive the canine chaos and the too-close-for-comfort presence of the only woman to touch his heart…and he can’t help but wonder if his aunt had something special in mind with her last, precious Christmas gift…

About the Author:
#1 New York Timesbestselling author Victoria Alexander was an award winning television reporter until she discovered fiction was much more fun than real life. She turned to writing full time and is still shocked it worked out.
With books translated into more than a dozen different languages she has readers around the world and has twice been nominated for Romance's Writers of America prestigious RITA award. In 2009 she was given a Career Achievement Award from RT Bookclub and was named Historical Storyteller of the year in 2003. In 2008 she was the keynote speaker for the Romance Writers of American annual conference in San Francisco. Victoria credits much of her writing success to her experiences as a reporter.
Victoria grew up traveling the world as an Air Force brat. Today, she lives in Omaha, Nebraska with her husband and her dogs. Victoria had two bearded collies, Sam and Louie (named from characters in one of her books). Sam (on the left), the best dog in the world for 13 ½ years, passed away in September 2010. Louie took on the position of loyal companion and did a fine job even though he doesn't understand that kitchen counter surfing is not allowed! Now he's been joined by Reggie, king of the lilacs.
They all live happily ever after in a house under constant renovation and the accompanying parade of men in tool belts. And never ending chaos. Victoria laughs a great deal—she has to.
Since the publication of her first book in 1995, she has written thirty-one full-length novels and six novellas. Find a complete list on her website http://www.victoriaalexander.com and chat with her on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/VictoriaAlexandersPlace
