An Inconvenient Kiss
by Carole Kimberly
India, 1820 Georgiana Phillips always conducted herself according to the
rules of polite society. So catching Simon Ashford in a compromising position should
have been shocking. Instead it was...arousing. And kissing him herself was absolutely
delicious—until it led to her ruination. That perfect, scandalous kiss has haunted Simon
for six years. He doesn’t regret it, though he’s tried desperately to restore Georgie’s
reputation. When he’s ordered to look after her in the wilds of India, it’s an
opportunity to finish what he started. But he’s no match for Georgie’s adventurous
spirit—she seems set on getting herself killed, diving in after hungry crocodiles and
braving monsoons to hunt for lost treasure. Georgie wouldn’t trade her exciting new life
for anything in the world, including marriage. And yet Simon seems determined to rein
her in, rewarding her brief moments of propriety with kisses far more exotic than any
tribal ceremony or archaeological expedition. How can he convince her that she’s so much
more than a beautiful obligation?
