With This Kiss… Fans of Beauty and the Beast will love Ms. Lynne’s latest release. Morgan St. James fears he will die unmarried and without an heir after his days as a rake are cut short by an arsonist’s fire. Julia Prentisse, a precocious redheaded beauty, thinks he is the answer to her prayers, offering an escape from her uncle’s oppressive household and the chance to shape her own destiny. When Julia proposes a marriage of convenience and a quest to uncover Lazarus, the mysterious arsonist, Morgan accepts. Even though Julia agreed to provide Morgan with an heir, she talks him into waiting until they know each other before consummating their hasty marriage. The sexual tension mounts as they search London society for the arsonist, who they know is moving within their own social circle. “With This Kiss is a delightful read. Full of strong imagery, slow burning passion, and lost of quick-witted dialogue. Morgan and Julia are an odd match which grows into a seamless, perfect fit. Ms. Lynne is a fabulous storyteller.” —Rendezvous
