"Christy Carlyle's debut is a whirlwind from beginning to end-sensual,
fast-paced, engaging, and full of complex characters*. One Scandalous
Kiss* is sure to captivate fans of Victorian romance." -- USA Today
bestselling author, Vivienne Lorret
When a scheming marquess's daughter offers her one hundred pounds to
publicly kiss a nobleman, a desperate Jessamin Wright agrees. She
believes the money will save her failing bookstore and finally free her
from her father's debts. But when Jess bursts into an aristocratic party
and shocks the entire ton, she never expects to enjoy the outrageous
embrace she shares with a grim viscount.
Lucius Crawford, Viscount Grimsby, has never met, or kissed, anyone like
the beautiful suffragette who unsettles him with a single touch. He has
always strived for control and avoided passion at all costs. Lucius is
determined to protect his title and restore the estate he's unexpectedly
inherited, but Jess's appearance in his life poses a threat to his plans
and his heart. After a country house party brings them together once
more, neither can resist temptation, and both find that one scandalous
kiss just isn't enough.
