An Enchanting Kiss: A Regency Historical Romance

An army officer who becomes a viscount. A lady eager to make her come-out. Two souls who come together as friends . . . and then find love . . .

Rupert Cummings receives a terse message from his estranged brother, ordering him to sell his army officer’s commission and return to England. Upon his arrival, he finds Perceval close to death. Rupert soon inherits the viscountcy and discovers he has a niece, a by-blow from one of his brother’s many affairs. Celia wriggles her way into his heart, and Rupert knows any wife he takes will have to understand his love for the girl and her place in the family.

Lady Cornelia Worthington’s father dies on the eve of the Season, forcing Lia and her twin Tia to delay their come-outs as they go into mourning. To break up the monotony, they are invited to visit her Aunt Agnes in the Lake District for a few months. Lia is excited to travel to a new place and eager to spend time in her three cousins’ company.

Once Lia meets Rupert-and Celia-she is drawn to both of them. But Lia’s older siblings have made love matches, and she is determined to do the same. Though she knows Viscount Cressley is attracted to her, she refuses to wed without a declaration of love from him.

Will Rupert realize the attraction he feels for Lia goes beyond the physical and admit he loves her, or will he lose the woman who holds his heart?
