Regency Royal Navy Christmas by Carla Kelly
Even the squared away, efficient Royal Navy must surrender to the joys and misadventures of a Regency Christmas. Four stories shine a light on Christmas during the Napoleonic Wars on land and sea…
In Boxing the Compass, a homesick frigate captain shepherding a convict convoy to Australia wants nothing more than to hold his infant daughter in faraway England. Perhaps he can enlist a prickly pair of convicts with a new baby to help him.
Wait Here for the Present finds a spinster, chafing with boredom, helping a motherless lad get to Plymouth for Christmas with his surgeon father. She can help, but love is the farthest thing from her mind.
In Slip #5, Captain McCulloch’s ship, HMS Trident, must spend a month in dry dock in Devonport. What better time to catch up on his reading? His plans are complicated by a bad cold, a good widow and her children, shy lovers, and dilemmas it seems only he can solve. Whatever happened to peace and quiet?
As a special bonus, The Christmas Angle introduces readers of the acclaimed St. Brendan series to that unlikely genius, Sailing Master Able Six.
Readers are requested and required to come aboard for a Royal Navy holiday.

Heartwarming, tender, touch the soul. Tge first story is about a RN Capatain missing a newborn daughter he's yet to see. There's hardly any romance, but a deep love story between a convict couple, a navy-man father and husband with his gamily. Written so well that not a moment becomes mundane. Descriptions and dialogue are wise and witty. There is war, amd death, and loss, and love. There is the joy of children's innocence and of their intrinsic wisdom. The glow of a good read stays long after the short story finishes. Master Able Six is a brilliant masterpiece.
