The Marquis’ Kiss by Regina Scott

No one in Regency London would guess that the outspoken Margaret Munroe hides a secret: she is hopelessly in love with the dashing Marquis DeGuis. But such a paragon would never look at an impoverished miss who’s been dubbed an Original for her unorthodox ways. That is, until the fellow all but tumbles into her lap at a ball.

Thomas, Marquis DeGuis, is still smarting from two disastrous courtships, but his own secret drives him to marry quickly. Why not try the Original Miss Munroe? From her ideal of living in the moment to her active role in helping the poor, Margaret challenges him. Could a kiss be all it takes to win a bride who is truly one of a kind?
