The Promise in a Kiss

The origins of the beloved Cynster dynasty are revealed in this tale. It's been seven years since Sebastian Cynster, Duke of St. Ives, first met Helena in the convent courtyard. Now spying her across a crowded ballroom, Sebastian sees how the heiress dazzles London society. However, she's not looking for just "any" husband. She wants an equal--someone who lives up to the promise of that long-ago kiss.

From The Publisher:

When a handsome man literally fell at her feet while she was walking through a moonlit convent courtyard, Helena knew he must have been there for a scandalous liaison. Yet she kept his presence a secret from the questioning nuns -- and for her silence the stranger rewarded her with an enticing, unforgettable kiss. What Helena didn't know was that her wild Englishman was Sebastian Cynster, Duke of St. Ives ... and that this dashing, dangerous nobleman was her destiny.

Seven years later, Sebastian spies Helena from across a crowded ballroom. This heiress is dazzling London society with her wit and beauty, tantalizing all the eligible men with the prospect of taking her hand in marriage. But Helena is not looking for just any husband. She wants an equal, a challenge -- someone who can live up to the promise of that delicious, never-forgotten kiss.
