A new novel from Johanna Lindsey is a gift in any season, but her new holiday-themed tale of the incorrigible Malory clan, The Present, is a particularly irresistible stocking stuffer. Anyone who is familiar with Lindsey's Malory bunch knows that where there's a Malory, there's trouble, and The Present proves no exception. Malory black sheep but major hunk James is having difficulties with his wife, Georgina. Family head Jason can't convince Molly, the mother of his son, to marry him. And a very mysterious package has arrived that is about to forever change the life of every Malory. This package -- suspiciously shaped like a book, perhaps a journal -- contains a shocking secret about the history of the Malory clan that will have every romance reader gasping.

The Present has dark secrets, family tensions, unrequited love -- all the ingredients of an unforgettable historical romance novel. It's the Johanna Lindsey novel her fans have been begging for. And if you haven't yet met the Malory family, The Present is a delightful, heartstring-tugging introduction.
