Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
One unforgettable night, Sebastian, the Duke of St Ives, stole a kiss from a beautiful young woman at a French convent. That is the prelude to Stephanie Laurens The Promise in a Kiss: A Cynster Christmas Novel. They didn't share their names but neither of them ever forgot the magic of that innocent kiss and when they meet again in London seven years later, each instantly recognises the other. Helena, the Comtesse d'Lisle, is searching for a manageable husband to thwart her controlling guardian, and Sebastian, a London rake who has sworn never to wed, is clearly not an appropriately biddable candidate. The lovely French comtesse is the one woman that can change Sebastian's view of marriage, but convincing Helena is a task that challenges even the powerful Duke of St Ives. While Sebastian is courting and seducing the reluctantly tempted Helena, her powerful guardian sets in motion a scheme that threatens the happiness of the lovers and endangers their lives.

In this tale of the passionate couple that parented the unforgettable Bar Cynster siblings, author Stephanie Laurens pulls out all the stops with high adventure, duelling swords, intrigue and sensual romance. Rounding out the novel with witty dialogue, great secondary characters, and detailed descriptions of the London society scene of 1783, Laurens gives readers another Cynster novel they're sure to love. --Lois Faye Dyer, Amazon.com
Synopsis
This is how it all began! Don't miss this wonderful, sparkling and sensuous Christmas novel...and learn how Sebastian and Honoria, the Duke and Duchess of St. Ives, first met on a snowy Christmas eve...Helena, gently-bred, is walking through her convent school one snowy, moonlit Christmas Eve when a man literally falls at her feet. She doesn't scream--she's too busy taking in his fascinating handsomeness. She doesn't know it, but it's Sebastian, the influential Duke of St. Ives, and when Mother Superior comes charging up Helena doesn't betray the man who is hiding in the shadows. Before he leaves, he thanks her with an unforgettable, powerful kiss - one filled with the promise of passion.. A few years later, Helena is in London, seeking a suitable husband. All of society knows the duke of St. Ives has vowed he will never wed, yet an introduction is engineered. And to Helena's shock, it's her wild Englishman. He kisses her hand when they part that evening and says, "Once again, au revoir." And with that, begins a romance that will give birth to the Cynster dynasty.
