The Fifth Kiss

Award-winning author Elizabeth Mansfield presents the captivating tale of a fiercely independent woman who learns a shocking secret that leads to a startling lesson in love

Olivia Matthews may be unversed in the ways of love, but her eyes don’t deceive her. Her sister’s husband, Miles Strickland, seventh Earl of Langley, is a scoundrel. Olivia just caught him in the arms of another woman. When she dares to confront him, the blackguard has the gall to accuse her of blackmail.

Determined to expose his unfaithfulness, Olivia leaves London to visit her sister in the English countryside, where her world is overturned. Suddenly she is trying to rein in her rambunctious niece and nephew, fending off the amorous attentions of two suitors . . . and falling in love with the very nobleman she had vowed to hate forever.
