His Scandalous Kiss

A masquerade ball reveals the heart’s secret desires in this scintillating Regency romance from the bestselling author of The Earl’s Complete Surrender.
Richard Heartly has exiled himself from society since the war, plotting his revenge for a terrible betrayal. A masked ball at Thorncliff Manor is intended to be a brief diversion. Instead, he encounters a fascinating young woman as entranced by the music as he is. He can’t reveal his identity to Lady Mary. But her siren song keeps drawing him back, and their clandestine meetings could be hazardous to his plan—and to her virtue . . .
Avoiding an unwanted marriage was easy when Lady Mary was ignored by the ton. Thanks to her dazzling appearance at the masquerade, she’s a wallflower no longer. Eligible suitors abound, yet the only man she wants is the brooding, seductive companion who keeps his face hidden. A man who tempts her to disclose her own shocking secret, one that could divide them forever . . .
“Has just the right amount of enchantment mixed with poignancy to fulfill readers’ fantasies. The depth of emotions, the light of the redeeming power of love, and the intrigue and suspense make this third installment Barnes’ strongest tale to date.” —RT Book Reviews (4 stars)
