The Upstart Christmas Brides consists of The Duke She Despised, published in 2019. The book combines Cheryl Bolen’s love of Regency settings with a Christmas backdrop and an enemies-to-lovers romance. The heroine has strong reasons to dislike the duke, and the holiday season forces them into close quarters.
As a single entry, the book works as a standalone holiday read for fans of Regency romance. The Christmas setting gives Bolen the chance to include period-appropriate holiday traditions alongside the romantic tension.
