To Kiss a Knight

 

To Kiss a Knight, by Grace Hitchcock, opens with Vivienne Poppy actually running away from both her family and a possible marriage of convenience.  The only problem is that she runs right into the arms of a masked man, whom Vivienne automatically assumes is a highwayman!

This man is actually Sir Sebastian Larkby, a man currently on a mission for the Prince Regent.  After he completes this work, he escorts Vivienne to her home in Bath.  She later shows up in society as “Mrs. Larkby”, her pen name as an author.  Sebastian (who goes by Bash when he is working for the Prince) is surprised that someone may be claiming to be his wife.  He sets out to end this falsehood!

When news of a Mrs. Larkby reaches Sebastian’s elderly grandmother, he knows he must take action he is not ready for.  His grandmother now has a renewed reason to stay alive.  The possibility of a great-grandchild!

Hold tight as you see how Vivienne responds when she learns that Sebastian is actually Bash.  The unthinkable takes place as Bash’s cousin suddenly comes on scene to send Bash’s grandmother to an asylum and then claim ownership of Bash’s family home!

This is definitely a tale well worth reading!
