Christmas at Thorne Manor: A Trio of Holiday Novellas -- Kelley Armstrong

There's just the tiny problem of the Butterfly Effect. How does a time-traveler make a difference without disrupting the future forever?</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Snowstorms & Sleigh Bells</strong></p><p>It's a Victorian Christmas at Thorne Manor, and Rosalind Courtenay is staying far, far away from the door that leads to the twenty-first century. It took her four years to get back home, and she's never going near the time stitch again. But her five-year-old son has other plans, and Rosalind finds herself plunged back into the modern world, where she decides to face her fears and give her family the holiday gift of a lifetime. Once again, Fate has other ideas, sending a blizzard to derail Rosalind's cautious planning and toss them all into a whirlwind of savage snowstorms, spectral sleigh bells and, perhaps, a Christmas ghost or two.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Ghosts & Garlands</strong></p><p>Victorian novelist Miranda Hastings is in London for a modern-day Christmas with the
