Earl of Bergen

Can an unlikely couple find love in the most unlikely way? An engaging earl... Thomas, Earl of Bergen is on his way to London for Christmastide and traditional fun with friends and family when he comes upon a cross-eyed donkey tied to a tree. Thomas discovers that the donkey's previous owners had abandoned it, believing it to be cursed. His efforts to help the animal lead him to the home of a lovely widow and her menagerie of children and animals.

A winsome widow... Lady Elizabeth Newton enjoys her life and her home in the country raising her three adopted children from her late husband's mistress, as well as caring for helpless animals of every description that would otherwise, have no home. But her life is completely upended when the handsome and charismatic Lord Bergen arrives on her doorstep with a cross-eyed donkey.

Drawn to Elizabeth's spirit and beauty, Thomas finds himself agreeing to help the young widow's charming children with their Christmas pageant. But can a budding romance survive the unexpected danger that seems to follow the donkey at every turn?
