An Innocent Kiss

An introverted earl who cannot escape the nightmare of war. A free-spirited beauty with no interest in marriage or babes. An innocent kiss that begins to change everything . . .

Only son Perry Beaumont resents his father's neglect of Beauville, the family's country estate, and asks his father for more authority to make decisions in running it. When his father rejects the idea, Perry leaves England for the Napoleonic Wars. Returning four years later upon his father's death, he suffers from nightmares and wonders if he will ever be the man he was before he lived in daily carnage, even as he takes up his new duties as the Earl of Martindale.

Lady Drusilla Alington leaps at an invitation to visit her newly-married sister in Surrey, ready to escape her domineering mother. Dru has an affinity for animals and dreads making her come-out next spring, not wanting to be paraded about on the Marriage Mart.

With her brother-in-law's country estate, Huntsworth, being near Beauville, Dru soon meets the quiet Lord Martindale, and they share a friendly, innocent kiss. While she believes they can be friends, Perry hides his growing attraction to Dru, knowing she has no interest in being wooed. And while he knows he must take a bride to get his heir, he fears no woman will want such a damaged man as her husband.

Will Perry conquer his fears and reveal his love for Dru-or will he keep silent and let Dru go so she can pursue the life she wants?
