From Mary Blayney, the acclaimed author of Stranger’s
Kiss, comes this irresistible new novel of historical
romance featuring the Pennistan family. In Courtesan’s Kiss,
an independent woman is determined to make her way in the
world—even if it’s a scandalous one. But first she must
escape a nobleman with plans of his own
In the
wake of a broken engagement and shunned by the ton, Mia
Castellano does not retire to the country, as a proper young
lady might, but sees her chance to escape society’s
restraints—by becoming a courtesan. In her mind, no
unmarried young woman is as free as a courtesan. She alone
controls her destiny: managing her own money, having her own
house, choosing her lovers. There’s only one obstacle in
Mia’s path—Lord David
Pennistan.
As a
favor to his brother, Lord David agrees to escort Mia to his
family’s home in Derbyshire, where her guardian awaits. Mia
attracts nothing but trouble from the outset of their
journey, yet with every adventure they share, Lord David’s
desire for his charge grows. When they’re caught in a
compromising situation, Lord David insists that she marry
him. But there’s only one thing Mia wants from David, and it
isn’t his charity or his title. Can he convince her before
it’s too late that the love she wants is already hers—to
take or to lose forever? Can he win more from this untamed
beauty than just a courtesan’s kiss?
