The Last I'll Kiss
(2024)(The fourth book in the Ladies of Scandal series)
A novel by Cassandra Morann
It all started with a wager.
Vesper Marchand has no interest in marriage, especially not to the widower Duke who has been named the catch of the season. Her friend Isla, however, could not be more interested, and a little friendly competition never broke any hearts. Vesper has every intention of getting a proposal from Josiah Bingham first, then happily ceding him to her friend. But when she meets him again, she's no longer the seventeen-year-old who thought him ancient and stodgy. Now, she's very aware of him as a virile man with an eye toward taking a wife.
Josiah knows he has to take a wife for duty, and Vesper Marchand is the opposite of duty. She is light and joy and humor and desire, all poured into an ugly, yellow dress. At thirty-seven, he considers himself done with youthful folly. But the irrepressible Vesper is almost impossible to deny.
When the game turns serious with much more real consequences than Vesper ever could have imagined, she has to decide the kind of woman she truly is, no longer a girl but a lady, and, quite possibly, a Duchess.
Genre: Historical Romance
