Lady Jenny's Christmas Portrait and Morgan and Archer

The only unmarried Windham sibling, Lady Jenny would not mind so very much taking care of her parents, if only she could study art in Paris for a few years first. Jenny longs for both an artistic challenge, and for a small taste of the passion life holds for those with the courage to seize it.

Lord Elijah Harrington arrives to the Windham household to spend the Yule season painting portraits commissioned by Their Graces, and Jenny thinks she’s met not only a kindred spirit, but a man she might love. Alas, for Jenny—and Elijah—honor has obligated him elsewhere, and while ‘tis the season to be merry, for Jenny and Elijah it will take a miracle to bring them their happily ever after.

The last Windham to get a HEA. While I enjoyed catching up with the rest of the family and liked Jenny and Elijah's passion for their art, the rest of the story was just so-so for me.  Their shared love of art and banter about it was more appealing than their chemistry.  The lengths Jenny's family went through to get the couple alone together was comical. Grace has become a favorite author and I look forward to her next series.

Archer Portmaine is investigating a plot against the Crown when he meets Morgan James, a young lady who believes her hearing problems make her a poor candidate for marriage, although her disability provides the key to unraveling Archer's mystery—and to capturing his heart.

Morgan and Archer were secondary characters from previous novels in the Windham series.  Since this is a novella their story is a bit rushed, but very enjoyable.
