An Irresistible Kiss

A widow interested in a second chance at marriage. An earl who desires a love match. A meeting at a ball which changes the course of both their lives . . .

Forced to wed a man she loathed to placate her dying father, Sarah Waters, Lady Alton, finds herself the focus of Polite Society’s gossips, her only crime being that she is the widow of a viscount murdered in a fight over a trollop. When she returns to the Season after her mourning period hoping to make a match, she is ostracized. Then a dashing earl comes to her rescue, and her fortunes begin to change.

Hadrian Fulton, Earl of Traywick, has witnessed his two sisters and seven cousins make love matches, which is almost unheard of within the ton. Now, Tray is ready to find love for himself. When he meets the tall, auburn-haired Lady Alton and witnesses how the ton shuns her, his sense of justice has him coming to her rescue.

Family is everything to Tray, and he introduces Lady Waters to his large, extended family and their many children. He also meets Lady Water’s daughter, the delightful Tilly, who steals his heart as much as her mother has.

But Sarah is hiding a secret, one so dark it would cause instant rejection from the man she has come to love, his family, and all of Polite Society.

Will Sarah’s secret keep her and Tray from finding lasting happiness?
