A Kiss for Lady Mary - (Marriage Game) by Ella Quinn (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Now available in print for the first time! USA Today bestselling author Ella Quinn brings adventure and spicy banter to the sixth installment in The Marriage Game series, with a tale of a fake marriage that turns deliciously real.

Ella Quinn's bachelors do as they like and take what they want. But when the objects of their desire are bold, beautiful women, the rules of the game always seem to change . . .

Handsome, charming, and heir to a powerful viscount, Christopher "Kit" Featherton is everything a woman could want--except interested in marriage. So, when he hears that someone on his estate near the Scottish border is claiming to be his wife, Kit sets off to investigate.

Since her parents' death, Lady Mary Tolliver has been hounded by her cousin, a fortune-hunting fool after her inheritance. Refusing to settle for anything less than love, Mary escapes to the isolated estate of rakish bachelor Kit Featherton. Knowing he prefers Court to the country, she believes she will be safe. But when Kit unexpectedly returns, her pretend marriage begins to feel seductively real . . .
