Once Upon A Christmas Past - Paperback

by Lorie Langdon (Author)

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CRATCHIT FAMILY AFTER A CHRISTMAS CAROL?

The Cratchit family has come a long way since Ebenezer Scrooge's glorious transformation many Christmases past, none more so than Lucy Anne 'Raven' Cratchit. Inspired by Tiny Tim's childhood illness and miraculous recovery, Raven is working to become London's first female physician, donating her time to those who cannot afford medical care.

Brit Crane grew up fighting for his life in the slums of London, protecting his ragtag gang of orphan thieves until Olivia 'Twist' Brownlow and Jack 'The Artful Dodger' MacCarron rescued them all and Brit became a teacher in their new orphanage. When Brit discovers he is the rightful Earl of Wexford and stands to inherit a fortune if he marries by Christmas, he isn't at all sure he wants the title or the money. That is, until a beautiful physician saves his life, and they form a bond that neither of them can deny.The catch? Doctor Raven Cratchit is engaged to Brit's conniving half-brother, the current illegitimate Earl of Wexford who has no intention of losing the earldom or the girl to an upstart ex-thief. Brit learns the hard way that his aristocratic brother doesn't play by 'street rules' and he struggles to fight for what is his in a world where he doesn't belong.

With the help of Raven and three meddling spirits, can Brit regain everything that was taken from him before the clock strikes twelve on Christmas Eve?
