It's in His Kiss

**It's in His Kiss** is the eighth book in the Bridgerton series.

## Synopsis

**IF IT'S IN HIS HEART... IT'S IN HIS KISS**

**MEET OUR HERO...**

**Gareth St. Clair** is in a bind. His father, who detests him, is determined to beggar the St. Clair estates and ruin his inheritance. Gareth's sole bequest is an old family diary, which may or may not contain the secrets of his past... and the key to his future. The problem is—it's written in Italian, of which Gareth speaks not a word.

**MEET OUR HEROINE...**

All the *ton* agreed: there was no one quite like **Hyacinth Bridgerton**. She's fiendishly smart, devilishly outspoken, and according to Gareth, probably best in small doses. But there's something about her—something charming and vexing—that grabs him and won't quite let go...

**MEET POOR MR. MOZART...**

Or don't. But rest assured, he's spinning in his grave when Gareth and Hyacinth cross paths at the annual—and annually discordant—Smythe-Smith musicale. To Hyacinth, Gareth's every word seems a dare, and she offers to translate his diary, even though her Italian is slightly less than perfect. But as they delve into the mysterious text, they discover that the answers they seek lie not in the diary, but in each other... and that there is nothing as simple—or as complicated—as a single, perfect kiss.

**Sir Richard Kenworthy** has less than a month to find a bride. He knows he can't be too picky, but when he sees Iris Smythe-Smith hiding behind her cello at her family's infamous musicale, he thinks he might have struck gold. She's the type of girl you don't notice until the second—or third—look, but there's something about her, something simmering under the surface, and he knows she's the one.

**Iris Smythe–Smith** is used to being underestimated. With her pale hair and quiet, sly wit she tends to blend into the background, and she likes it that way. So when Richard Kenworthy demands an introduction, she is suspicious. He flirts, he charms, he gives every impression of a man falling in love, but she can't quite believe it's all true. When his proposal of marriage turns into a compromising position that forces the issue, she can't help thinking that he's hiding something . . . even as her heart tells her to say yes.

## Synopsis

***While you were sleeping...***

With her brother Thomas injured on the battlefront in the Colonies, orphaned **Cecilia Harcourt** has two unbearable choices: move in with a maiden aunt or marry a scheming cousin. Instead, she chooses option three and travels across the Atlantic, determined to nurse her brother back to health. But after a week of searching, she finds not her brother but his best friend, the handsome officer **Edward Rokesby**. He's unconscious and in desperate need of her care, and Cecilia vows that she will save this soldier's life, even if staying by his side means telling one little lie...

***I told everyone I was your wife***

When Edward comes to, he's more than a little confused. The blow to his head knocked out six months of his memory, but surely he would recall getting *married*. He knows who Cecilia Harcourt is—even if he does not recall her face—and with everyone calling her his wife, he decides it must be true, even though he'd always assumed he'd marry his neighbor back in England.

***If only it were true...***

Cecilia risks her entire future by giving herself—completely—to the man she loves. But when the truth comes out, Edward may have a few surprises of his own for the new Mrs. Rokesby.

*—Lady Whistledown's Society Papers,* April 1814

But this time, the gossip columnists have it wrong. **Anthony Bridgerton** hasn't just decided to marry—he's even chosen a wife! The only obstacle is his intended's elder sister, **Kate Sheffield**—the most meddlesome woman ever to grace a London ballroom. The spirited schemer is driving Anthony mad with her determination to stop the betrothal, but when he closes his eyes at night, Kate is the woman haunting his increasingly erotic dreams...

Contrary to popular belief, Kate is quite sure that reformed rakes do *not* make the best husbands—and Anthony Bridgerton is the most wicked rogue of them all. Kate is determined to protect her sister—but she fears her own heart is vulnerable. And when Anthony's lips touch hers, she's suddenly afraid she might not be able to resist the reprehensible rake herself...

First Comes Scandal

**First Comes Scandal** is the fourth book in the Rokesbys series.

## Synopsis

***She was given two choices...***

Georgiana Bridgerton isn’t against the idea of marriage. She’d just thought she’d have some say in the matter. But with her reputation hanging by a thread after she’s abducted for her dowry, Georgie is given two options: live out her life as a spinster or marry the rogue who has ruined her life.

***Enter Option #3***

As the fourth son of an earl, **Nicholas Rokesby** is prepared to chart his own course. He has a life in Edinburgh, where he’s close to completing his medical studies, and he has no time—or interest—to find a wife. But when he discovers that **Georgie Bridgerton**—his literal girl-next-door—is facing ruin, he knows what he must do.

***A Marriage of Convenience***

It might not have been the most romantic of proposals, but Nicholas never thought she’d say no. Georgie doesn’t want to be anyone’s sacrifice, and besides, they could never think of each other as anything more than childhood friends... or could they?

But as they embark upon their unorthodox courtship they discover a new twist to the age-old rhyme. First comes scandal, then comes marriage. But after that comes love...

Or not. There is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely cannot tolerate, and that is **George**. He may be the eldest and heir to the earldom, but he's arrogant, annoying, and she's absolutely certain he detests her. Which is perfectly convenient, as she can't stand the sight of him, either.

*But sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humor..*

## Synopsis

**Sir Phillip** knew from his correspondence with his dead wife's distant cousin that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so he'd proposed, figuring that she'd be homely and unassuming, and more than a little desperate for an offer of marriage. Except . . . she wasn't. The beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet, and when she stopped talking long enough to close her mouth, all he wanted to do was kiss her...

**Eloise Bridgerton** couldn't marry a man she had never met! But then she started thinking... and wondering... and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect match. Except... he wasn't. Her perfect husband wouldn't be so moody and ill-mannered. And he certainly should have mentioned that he had two young - and decidedly unruly - children, as much in need of a mother as Phillip is in need of a wife.

Sophie was born as the illegitimate child to the Earl of Penwood and his maid, whom he had an affair with. Her mother died after childbirth, and for the first few years of her life, Sophie was raised by her maternal grandmother, who was always kind to her.

At the age of three, she was left at the steps in front of her father's house, left under his care. Although, her father presumably did not know of her existence, it was clear that she was his daughter, due to the fact that she clearly had his eyes and his sister's smile. She was then taken in by him as his ward, but was not allowed to refer to him as her father, and he always called her "Sophia". She was practically raised by the other servants, until he married the new Countess of Penwood, Araminta. She was emotionally and verbally abused by her stepmother until she was kicked out of the house.

She absolutely adores children, and family means everything to her.

## Quotes

"I think Violet is a lovely name. I just hope it's a girl. Because if it's a boy, he's never going to forgive us."

"I thought he'd forgotten me. All these years I'd thought he'd written up his will and simply forgotten about me. I knew he couldn't really leave money for his bastard daughter, but he'd told all the world I was his ward. There was no reason he couldn't provide for his ward.. He could have provided for a ward. People do that all the time."

## Trivia

Equuleus astral projects and sees the limits of Barovia, as well as learns from her mentor how to use the life force of earth, taking and giving life.

Waking first, Brig finds his imp and an astonished Davish who stands at guard. Equuleus wakes up next followed by Reffins and they each explain their dreams. Eventually the morning sun breaks and they pack up and head back to the trail where Davis leaves you again. As he had along the trail it begins to get cold as they near the town of Krezk. It has high stone walls with another building on the cliff behind it.

The guards won’t let them in though, as they explain that they’re weary of strangers and they come up with the idea to have the party prove themselves by checking on their scouts, the vassals to the south, and the wine shipment that’s long overdue, explaining that they sent men a few days ago but they have not yet returned. They throw a crudely drawn map down to them and send the group on their way.

Venturing along the trail where the map showed, they make it to a tree line where they see skittering creatures across the road in the form of little woodland creatures made of branches in wood. Brig unsuccessfully hides and catches the attention of one child sized wood creature and engage them in combat. Easily defeating the entire pack, they go to move on when a man comes out of the tree line and ushers them over.

He introduces himself as Adrian Martikov, and explains that the Wizards of Wine Winery that they’re headed to belongs to him and his family, namely his father who is still at the winery. Few more members of the Martikov family step out of the tree line, coming forth skeptically but hopeful, and take the group to a overlook of the winery where they can see and plan their approach. Adrian explains that druids came with an army of wood and tree creatures and invaded their home. Flocks of raven are seen overhead, as the children and Adrian help the three scout out all visible monsters.

In every life there is a turning point. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and breathtaking, that one knows one's life will never be the same. For **Michael Stirling**, London's most infamous rake, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on **Francesca Bridgerton.**

After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never permitting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing. Unfortunately for Michael, however, Francesca's surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere thirty-six hours longer—the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to his cousin.

But that was then... Now Michael is the earl and Francesca is free, but still she thinks of him as nothing other than her dear friend and confidant. Michael dares not speak to her of his love... until one dangerous night, when she steps innocently into his arms, and passion proves stronger than even the most wicked of secrets...
