An Enchanting Kiss: A Regency Historical Romance

Rupert Cummings, an army officer, receives an urgent summons from his estranged brother to return to England and sell his commission. Upon arrival, he finds his brother Perceval dying and soon inherits the viscountcy. He discovers he has a niece, Celia, born from one of his brother's affairs. Rupert becomes devoted to her and knows any future wife must accept and understand his love for the girl. Lady Cornelia Worthington's father dies just before the Season begins, forcing her and her twin sister Tia to enter mourning and delay their debuts. To ease the monotony, they are invited to visit their Aunt Agnes in the Lake District for several months. There, Lia meets Rupert and Celia and is drawn to both of them. Determined to make a love match like her older siblings, Lia refuses to marry Viscount Cressley despite his attraction to her unless he declares his love. Rupert must confront whether his attraction to Lia is merely physical or something deeper, and whether he can admit his love before losing her. This is the fifth book in the Captivating Kisses series, which consists of standalone stories that can be read in any order.
