Penelope was always the dutiful daughter who longed for adventure.  So she eloped with Simon Wilkie to his castle in the Orkneys but Simon was a Mama’s boy and Mama did not want a shop keepers daughter for a daughter-in-law. So Simon sent Penelope on her way.  The trouble was….Penelope’s bag was lost and she was stranded. Darius came to find her at the bidding of her father and he rescued the damsel in distress.  But Darius would have come after her even if not sent by her father for Darius was smitten with Penelope.  Convincing Penelope might prove a problem.This is a predictable but oh so sweet and sexy story.  It is one of those to which you can drink your cocoa and eat your cookies while playing Christmas music softly in the background.  There is a moment of confusion when we jump from the ball to the elopement but only a moment. There is much talk of sweet confections and sugarplums that may have you reaching for the candy dish.
