Twelve Drummers Drumming by Emily E.K. Murdoch
Welcome to the exciting new holiday series from USA Today Bestselling author Emily E.K. Murdoch.

Follow each of the Fitzroy women as they cause nothing but scandal and intrigue across the ton and try to keep their exploits quiet.


It’s 1813, and twelve drummers drumming are about to bring love into Jemima's life…


Jemima Fitzroy is tired of being ignored by her loud, rambunctious family—especially as she attempts to campaign for veterans in a world that doesn't appreciate them.

Soldiers are returning home from Napoleonic France, and Captain Hugh Rotherham knows he will never be the same again. Not just because of what he's seen, but because of what he's seeing right now: a startlingly beautiful woman who stirs something so passionate in it, the drumming of his heart matches that of his regiment.

Jemima knows she shouldn't be meeting this soldier without her family's knowledge. Hugh knows he cannot cross the line from respectability to scandal.

It doesn't matter. Twelve drummers drumming will change their lives—and the rhythm that can tease out exquisite pleasure…

Meet the Fitzroy family: twelve cousins falling in love over Christmastime!


This novella is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series which can be read in any order—but follow the numbers down for the best reading experience!


Note: This series is part of Dragonblade's Flame line, so this is a sexy, steamy, and scorching-hot read with multiple sex scenes. Be advised.
