The Promise in a Kiss (Cynster Novels) Book

One unforgettable night, Sebastian, the Duke of St Ives, stole a kiss from a beautiful young woman at a French convent. That is the prelude to Stephanie Laurens The Promise in a Kiss: A Cynster Christmas Novel. They didn't share their names but neither of them ever forgot the magic of that innocent kiss and when they meet again in London seven years later, each instantly recognises the other. Helena, the Comtesse d'Lisle, is searching for a manageable husband to thwart her controlling guardian, and Sebastian, a London rake who has sworn never to wed, is clearly not an appropriately biddable candidate. The lovely French comtesse is the one woman that can change Sebastian's view of marriage, but convincing Helena is a task that challenges even the powerful Duke of St Ives. While Sebastian is courting and seducing the reluctantly tempted Helena, her powerful guardian sets in motion a scheme that threatens the happiness of the lovers and endangers their lives. In this tale of the passionate couple that parented the unforgettable Bar Cynster siblings, author Stephanie Laurens pulls out all the stops with high adventure, duelling swords, intrigue and sensual romance. Rounding out the novel with witty dialogue, great secondary characters, and detailed descriptions of the London society scene of 1783, Laurens gives readers another Cynster novel they're sure to love. --Lois Faye Dyer, Amazon.comRead More
