The Christmas Goat

Sometimes all it takes is one goat to make a difference … Being thrown from his horse two days before Christmas is only slightly colder than the chilly reception Hudson Comerford, fourth son of the Marquess of Waterbury, expected on arriving at his family's estate in the Cotswolds. Finding a goat stuck in the undergrowth and just as lost as he is, leads him down a path he never expected to take. Percival "Mercy" Cooke served in the Royal Navy for the better part of two decades before coming to his newly widowed sister's rescue. The perils of duty have never quite left him, even if he's more than made a home for himself as the proprietor of The Sunken Ship Inn. When a pre-Christmas blizzard blows a delectable fellow into the common room, trailing a goat of all things, Mercy finds he's been more alone than he knew. When Hudson's family duties rear their ugly head, can one very determined goat make it a Merry Christmas?
