A lonely wallflower. A future viscount. A second chance at love.
Olivia Kingsley didn’t expect to be swept off her feet and receive a marriage proposal two weeks into her first Season. However, one delicious dance with Allen Wimpleton, and her future is sealed. Or so she thinks until her eccentric father suddenly announces he’s moving the family to the Caribbean for a year.
Terrified of losing Olivia, Allen begs her to elope, but she refuses. Distraught at her leaving, and unaware of her father’s ill-health, Allen doubts her love and foolishly demands she choose—him or her father.
Heartbroken at his callousness, Olivia turns her back on their love. The year becomes three, enough time for her broken heart to heal, and after her father dies, she returns to England.
Coming face to face with Allen at a ball, she realizes she never purged him from her heart.
But can they overcome their pasts and old wounds to trust love again? Or has Allen found another in her absence?
This second chance Regency historical by a USA Today bestselling author will make you want to box Allen’s ears and promise Olivia that she will find true love.

Buy A KISS FOR MISS KINGSLEY and settle into your favorite reading nook for a rousing romantic adventure you can’t put down.
Though this book can easily be read as a stand-alone, most readers prefer to read the series in order.

Her brother stuck his head inside the carriage. “Come, kitten. Put on a brave smile, and let’s go meet the dragon. Who knows, mayhap tonight is providential. In any event, you’ll have an answer, and you can get on with your life.”
“I suppose that’s true.” Although that existence would be only a shadow of what life might have been with Allen.
Such a pity hindsight, rather than foresight, birthed wisdom.
Bradford extended his hand. “Come along.”
Sighing, and resigned to whatever providence hurled her way, Olivia placed her palm in his.
“That’s my girl.” He gave her fingers a gentle, encouraging squeeze.
“So help me, Brady, you step more than two feet away from me, and I shall—”
“Never fear, kitten. I’ll forsake my romantic pursuits and act the part of diligent protector for the entire evening.”
Olivia chuckled, despite her rioting nerves. “How gallant of you, dear brother.”
He tucked her hand into the crook of one elbow while offering the other to their aunt before guiding the women up the granite steps.
Inside the manor, Olivia forced a smile and passed her wrap to the waiting footman. Had he detected her shaking hands? Her stomach fluttered and leaped about worse than frogs on hot pavement, threatening to make her ill. She ran her hands across her middle to smooth the champagne gauze overlay of her new crimson ball gown Aunt Muriel had insisted on purchasing for her. The ruby jewelry she wore was her aunt’s as well.
“Her Grace, the Duchess of Daventry, Lord Kingsley, and Miss Kingsley.” The majordomo announced them in a droning monotone.
