The Viscount’s Christmas Wish by Donna Hatch

Dear Readers,

I am absolutely delighted to share some exciting news with you just in time for the holiday season—my new Regency romance, The Viscount’s Christmas Wish, is here!

If you’ve ever wondered what Christmas looked like during the Regency era (spoiler: it was both reverent and playful), or if you love a good enemies-to-lovers story with snow, mistletoe, and just a touch of Christmas magic, this book is for you!

The Story

A courageous lady. A guarded viscount. A Christmas wish that could change everything—if they dare to trust their hearts.

Adelaide is no stranger to making the best of difficult circumstances. Raised as a lady but now employed as a companion, she’s learned to keep her expectations modest and her heart guarded. But when a dying earl who has treated her like family longs to celebrate Christmas the way his family once did, Addie determines to make it happen.

From burning the Yule log to hanging mistletoe balls, she sets about reviving every cherished tradition. There’s just one obstacle: the earl’s eldest son, Viscount Deverre.

Convinced that Adelaide is a fortune hunter preying on his dying father, Deverre is determined to protect his family. But as they search snowy forests for Christmas greenery, sing carols by candlelight, and venture to London’s legendary Frost Faire, his suspicions thaw into something far more dangerous—and infinitely more tender.

When secrets threaten their fragile trust and pride stands in the way of happiness, it will take more than mistletoe to heal their wounded hearts. Sometimes the greatest gift requires the greatest risk: trusting the heart.

A Personal Note

Writing this book was both a joy and a journey of healing for me.

When my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I wanted to give him one last perfect Christmas—a celebration filled with all the traditions and love our family cherished. Sadly, he passed before I could make that happen and that unfulfilled wish has stayed with me.

This story became my way of honoring him and that dream. Through Addie’s determination to grant the earl the Christmas he once treasured, I found a way to give my dad the celebration I couldn’t in life. Writing it was cathartic, a gift to my parents’ memory, and a reminder that love transcends even our deepest losses.

I’ve always been fascinated by how the Regency era celebrated Christmas. Their customs differed from our modern traditions, yet the heart of it remains the same: gathering with loved ones, celebrating light in the darkness, and opening our hearts to hope and love.

I truly hope Addie and Deverre’s story brings you as much warmth and healing as it brought me while writing it. If you’ve ever lost someone during the holidays, or wished you could give a loved one one more perfect moment, I hope this story speaks to your heart the way it did to mine. It’s my Christmas gift to you, dear readers.

Thank you for your continued support, enthusiasm, and for letting me share these stories with you. Wishing you a season filled with love, laughter, and perhaps a little Christmas magic of your own.

With warmest holiday wishes,

Donna
