Christmas at Hampton Castle

She gave him a son.
He gave her his heart.
Not everyone wants them to survive the winter.

Christmas at Hampton Castle by Augusta Gosling, a Lochlainn Series novella, medieval Christmas romance set during the Wars of the Roses

The Story

Snow falls on Hampton Castle in the bitterest Christmas of the Wars of the Roses. For the first time, Alys will walk into the great hall on Hampton's arm, their son held close, their love declared before every man who swore it would never happen.

But the Countess has not forgiven. The Church has not forgotten. And before the Twelve Days are over, Alys will learn what her enemies are prepared to burn to see her gone.

Twelve nights. One castle. A love that has to outlast them both. This is the scene White Rose never gave you. Open door, start to finish. Light the candles and pour the wine. Hampton is waiting.

A Christmas companion novella to the Lochlainn Series. 120 pages.

This novella sits inside White Rose, in the days the novel never shows. Read White Rose first.

Perfect for fans of Philippa Gregory, Elizabeth Chadwick, and Anne O'Brien, Fleur de Lys is the third book in the Lochlainn Series, a medieval story of grief, survival.
