A Christmas Oath
Christmas should be a time of peace on earth and goodwill toward men, but it isn’t for Elizabeth Dutton. When Francis Oldman breaks their engagement, giving her no reason as to why, she sues him for breach of promise of marriage. The jury finds in her favor, and she is awarded £1,000 for damages suffered – the price of her broken heart.
Three months later, while still pining over her lost love, the annual invitation to the Darley’s Christmas Eve party arrives. Elizabeth decides that a new dress and a bit of Christmas spirit might cheer her up. What she hoped would be a pleasant evening, turns into one disaster after another, especially when Francis Oldman walks through the door.
Nevertheless, Christmas wouldn’t be complete without gifts. Before morning arrives, Elizabeth receives the gift of clarity, and Francis discovers that sacrifice can bring miracles.

Not my idea of a Christmas Romance
The jilted heroine complains through 98% of the story. The former fiance is bemoaning his loss of her. Their problem is lack of communication and trust. This story was annoying not romantic.

A Christmas Oath
What a delightful short novella. A quite captivating tale and a history lesson included. History is filled with knowledge that has been forgotten but is needed in our present society. Thank you for a lovely story.
