Description
He needs to walk again. But he may need her more…
Lord Warrick lost more than the use of his legs on the battlefield, injuries crushing his expectation of an heir along with his spirits. But it’s hard to keep a bawdy man down, so Warrick continues to entertain with outlandish remarks, denying his pain. But when he starts up a flirt with a most unusual female, he cannot get the Latin-speaking governess out of his mind…
Responsible for the most exuberant young lady around, Aphrodite Primrose has her hands more than full—so why do they keep aching to comfort the haughty yet haunted peer who crosses her path time and again at her employer’s house party? Past threats to her virtue taught her some lords cannot be trusted, but this one…seems different. And it’s more than his inability to walk.
Impossible hopes dare to beckon when they exchange a kiss under the mistletoe but common sense brings them crashing down. For there exists no possible way this unrepentant fortune hunter, responsible for more than just himself, can marry anyone but an heiress. Time passes, filled with both tragedies and triumphs, until their paths cross again.
This time? Warrick’s determined to catch her, whether he can chase her or not.

A Moonlit Christmas Kiss is a sweet (with hints of spice) historical romance with lots of fun and sexy banter but minimal actual intimacy on the page. This 120,000 word tale of angst and joy is perfect for readers who like to lose themselves in another time, wish Jane Austen was still penning funny, romantic novels, and loved Signet Regencies from authors like Mary Balogh and Carla Kelly.
All Regency Christmas Kisses books are HEA standalones.

Advance Praise
“A love story for the ages. This is a book to savor. The happy ending comes but it’s a long, winding road. Don’t miss this one.” –★★★★★ Amazon Reader
“Lyons certainly did save the best for last. The author provides us with the most heart wrenching Christmas story filled with numerous captivating characters. The dialogue is impeccable, the storyline is full of intrigue and tragedies, and the romance is a very slow burn 🔥. Readers cannot help but savor every word. I know that I did. Relish this 5 star 🌟 read.” –★★★★★ Deb, Bookbub
“This book is such a different take on one of my favorite tropes, the wounded hero...some laugh out loud moments. Reserve the whole weekend to escape into this gem!”
–★★★★★ M.P., Amazon
“Be prepared for so much emotion. I love Regency romance but this was different, so different. Very moving. I felt so much emotion reading this; it was gripping. Please keep writing this genre you are gifted.” –★★★★★ Corrine, UK Amazon

Larissa Lyons loves writing that life-altering spark of first attraction. Many of her books feature characters dealing with physical disabilities, but once those strong heroes meet their woman? Everyone gets weak in the knees.
All of Larissa’s books brim with laugh-out-loud humor; some flare hot while others simmer. She has a strong, historical-sounding voice and her stories are laced with Regency slang, making it easy to become lost in the past.
She’s the winner of the 2024 National Excellence in Storytelling Award, historical novella category, for A Snowlit Christmas Kiss.
Creatively working around some health challenges and computer limitations, it’s a while between releases, but stick with her—she’s working on the next one.
