Only a Kiss

Only a Kiss by Mary Balogh Summary: Since witnessing the death of her husband during the wars, Imogen, Lady Barclay, has secluded herself in the confines of Hardford Hall, their home in Cornwall. The new owner has failed to take up his inheritance, and Imogen desperately hopes he will never come to disturb her fragile peace. Percival Hayes, Earl of Hardford, has no interest in the wilds of Cornwall, but when he impulsively decides to pay a visit to his estate there, he is shocked to discover that it is not the ruined heap he had expected. He is equally shocked to find the beautiful widow of his predecessor’s son living there. Soon Imogen awakens in Percy a passion he has never thought himself capable of feeling. But can he save her from her misery and reawaken her soul? And what will it mean for him if he succeeds? Angie's Comments: Another Survivors’ Club novel from Mary Balogh! I have enjoyed the series, and this book was no different. The characters are complex and face difficult decisions. I wasn’t as involved with these book as the others, but it was still a good historical novel. The smuggling plot was different from the standard smuggling plot. Recommended for readers of historical romance.  Request this item
