As an eight-year-old girl, it's hard to hear your
grandfather say, "You killed your mother, Grace. And for
that you'll die alone and unloved..."
There have been Wolfes at Wolfestone Castle for almost 600
years, but it's still the last place Dominic Wolfe, Lord
D'Acre, wants to return. He didn't even return for his
father's funeral. But arriving in England, after more than
10 years abroad, Dominic finds himself betrothed to Melly
Pettifer, a woman he's never met. Dominic doesn't want a
wife, but this marriage agreement, set up when he was 16
years of age and about which he knew nothing, is legal and
binding. And the only way Dominic will inherit the property
of Wolfestone.
The betrothal shocks Melly badly, but she's coming to terms
with the decision. How many suitors can a poor, plain,
plump and intensely shy girl expect? Maybe this forced
betrothal isn't so bad. Her best friend, Grace Merridew,
the darling of the ton, is accompanying her to Wolfstone as
her hired companion. This way Grace can watch over her,
give Melly the strength and courage she needs and maybe,
just maybe she can talk Melly's father into canceling the
betrothal.
Grace Merridew has no memories of her parents but has
watched each of her sisters fall in love, assuring her
that "one day a man will kiss you and you'll know..." Grace
is almost 21 and about to take control of her own personal
fortune. If she marries, her fortune will belong to her
husband and no man's kisses could be worth that. Oh, Grace,
you are so wrong. You are about to meet Dominic Wolfe.
Upon their first meeting, Dominic is enchanted by Grace.
And Grace finds Dominic exotic, forbidden, wicked and
irresistible. Never have they been swept away like this,
never has anything felt so right, never has anything been
as perfect as their time together. But Dominic is betrothed
to Melly, Grace's best friend. What to do?
I love Anne Gracie stories. They are gifts for the
heart and THE PERFECT KISS is no exception. It's the
perfect romance. But that's exactly how I felt when I read
THE PERFECT RAKE, THE PERFECT WALTZ and THE PERFECT
STRANGER. Do you see a pattern? THE PERFECT KISS is written
with charm and grace, humor and tenderness and a sensual
battle of wits between an unforgettable hero and heroine,
characters who will touch your heart. The story is
enchanting and it's pure magic turning every page. If you
haven't already discovered the romances of Anne Gracie,
search for them. You'll be so glad you did. She's a
treasure.
Before she sets out to see the world, Grace Merridew must
first help her timid friend, who is being forced to marry
Dominic Wolfe, boorish heir to a huge estate. To that end,
Grace disguises herself as a plain and mousy chaperone. But
when they arrive at the estate, Grace finds herself being
pursued by a big bad Wolfe.
