One Kiss to Desire

From USA Today & International Bestseller Grace Callaway

The Blackwood Legacy series features the children of the Marquess and Marchioness of Blackwood (The Lady Who Came in from the Cold). Adult siblings James, Ethan, Owen, and Georgiana Harrington must come to grips with a tragedy that has befallen their close-knit family. Fate leads them to a charming and quirky village, where a mysterious local legend will heal their hearts and transform their lives—and those of the villagers—forever.

One Kiss to Desire (Book 1)

When a wounded lord hires a housekeeper in disguise, secrets smolder and sparks fly in this grumpy-sunshine, enemies-to-lovers historical romance with heat, humor, and heart!

Grappling with a life-changing injury, celebrated piano virtuoso Lord Ethan Harrington wants solitude. Chudleigh Bottoms, an unprepossessing village in the middle of nowhere, seems like the place to find it. He hires a mousy and seemingly biddable housekeeper to manage his manor and leave him in peace. When he discovers the fire that burns beneath her primness, however, he begins to question what he truly wants, and their smoldering encounters ignite his deepest desires.

Fleeing from her past, Xenia Loveday is in search of the freedom that only money can buy. When her job as a naughty storyteller goes on hiatus, she must find temporary work in the nearby village, a peculiar place that locals claim is cursed. She has no intention of setting down roots or getting involved with her grumpy yet wickedly attractive employer. Yet passion lays waste to her plans, and she finds herself falling for a man she knows she can never have.

Will their love heal his wounded soul and overcome her dangerous secrets? Can they work together to undo a curse and defeat a secret enemy? One kiss leads to desire…will more lead to happily ever after?
