Always the Reverend by Emily E.K. Murdoch

Always the reverend but never the groom – but not this Christmas…
Joseph never thought that becoming a vicar would separate him completely from his flock – and all marital prospects.
But this Christmas, he’s back with his sister and thinking wistfully of the lady in his congregation that he cannot take his eyes off.
Who has suddenly appeared in Bristol.
Will he be able to escape the trappings of his position, and speak openly to the woman he loves?

This novella is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.
