Authors: Miss Merry's Christmas
Tears
of relief and
joy
gathered in her eyes.
This man, who she’d fallen so deeply in love with, would be hers. No matter to him that he was the duke, and she a mere American, he loved her. Her chest swelled with happiness.
“Oh yes, this will definitely be a love match.”
“Miss Merry!” Charlotte and Clare called from one of the upper windows.
Both Merry and Penrose sprang apart and look upwards. Merry gasped.
“Girls
, w
hat are you doing hanging out the window
in your night clothes
?”
“It’s midnight, Miss Merry. Christmas
D
ay
.” They grinned at her, their beautiful young faces aglow in the moonlight.
She tried unsuccessfully to hide her smile.
“
Return to your room,
I will deal with you in the morning.”
Penrose threw back his head and laughed.
Merry attempted to glare at him, but lost the battle.
“Don’t laugh. They
are
in big trouble.”
As the first snowflakes fell, h
e gathered her close
yet again
, then
leaned his forehead on hers.
“Merry Christmas, Miss Merry.”
The End
Hutton
has been making up stories since elementary school, and writing gave her a way to turn off the voices in her head.
She’s had a number of articles and interviews published over the years, and
finally
decided to put her writing skills to the test and
turned to writing novels.
Oklahoma is where she hangs her hat with her husband of thirty-six years, two young adult children
,
and three dogs.
