Opis

The Duke's Kiss When Simon Norrington, the Earl of Westbridge, attends a party, he was not expecting to meet his destiny. A wager in a semi-darkened room produces the kiss that nearly drives him mad He is unable to ascertain the identity of the woman he kisses, and since Fredericka, sister of the party's host wasn't wearing her spectacles, she couldn't recognize the young man in question, even should she ever meet up with him again - a most unlikely happening Neither of them can forget that kiss, but how can they possibly discover the identity of the other party? Simon goes off to inspect his country estate, while Freddy, afraid of being forced into a marriage with a man she doesn't know - or trust - flees her home. However, a matchmaker is on the prowl. Somehow, she must convince Simon and Freddy that they are meant to be together - forever, not for just one kiss. NanTillie's Surprise Duke Matilda Honeywell had always loved Maxwell Beaumont. When he was 18, he took the King's shilling (along with her bother George) and off they went to fight in the American Colonies. George came back home three years later, but without Max. What could have happened to him? Twenty years later, Max appeared on Tillie's doorstep. Or rather, George's doorstep, for he had married and had three sons, but then his wife died, so Aunt Tillie came to the rescue. She had not forgotten Max, nor had he been ignoring her in the meantime. A bout with amnesia had kept him from her side all these years. Now, they have no wish to delay their love from its rightful culmination. But the surprises in store for Max and Tillie have not exhausted themselves, providing a satisfying -- if surprising -- ending to a timeless love story.
