About the Author:
Jo Beverley is a New York Times bestselling author of historical romance. In a starred review of her most recent medieval romance, Lord of Midnight, Publisher's Weekly described her as "Arguably today's most skillful writer of intelligent historical romance."

From Library Journal:
Tess Farraday is the winner of the Phelan and Heart of the West awards, Tess lives in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. There, she shares a one-hundred year old farm house with her children, her journalist husband and entirely too many pets.
Linked by a legendary star sapphire necklace that was carried by the Magi as they went to see the Christ Child and that magically reappears just before the turn of each century to bestow the gift of love upon its temporary owner, this sparkling quartet of holiday romances from four of Jove's better-known writers sweeps readers from 999 to 1999, deftly capturing the differing flavors of each period in well-crafted tales of love and enchantment. Two sisters find unexpected love and help bring peace between two enemy warriors in Jo Beverley's passionate, Viking-filled "Day of Wrath"; a jilted heroine, a noble sea captain, and his young nephew heal old wounds and form a family at the dawn of the 19th century in Alice Alfonsi's charming "Starlight Wedding"; a cowboy kidnaps a mail-order bride intended for another to provide a "mother" for four orphans he has inadvertently won in a poker game in Tess Farraday's lively, funny "Last Kiss at the Loving Cup Saloon"; and a downed plane, missing millions, and Y2K cause problems for a wealthy foundation director in Kate Freiman's very modern, mystery-laced "Joy to the World." Well written and smoothly linked, these hope-filled stories all reflect the joy and optimism of the holiday season and make for rewarding reading. Fans of the medieval period may be particularly interested in the historical detail of "Days of Wrath"Aespecially the way in which people then viewed the millennium.
