Just One Kiss
by Eileen Dreyer
One small favor. One impossible mistake. One kiss that changes everything.
Lady Georgianna Packham has spent her life caring for others---first surviving a brutal boarding school, then shouldering the needs of an endless family. Helping a former classmate end an unwanted engagement should be simple. It's just another favor. Another wish granted.
Until Georgie finds herself married instead.
Grey, Marquess of Coleford, is a battle-hardened soldier, newly titled, and guardian to two young girls who need stability more than scandal. A wife was meant to solve his financial troubles---not complicate his life. Yet Georgie's quiet strength and unexpected courage unsettle him in ways no battlefield ever has.
Thrown together by accident and duty, Grey and Georgie begin to build something neither expected---a partnership shaped by kindness, laughter, and a growing, dangerous tenderness. But when Grey is called back to war, Georgie is left to face his responsibilities... and her own uncertain heart.
When love arrives by mistake, can two weary souls trust it enough to claim a future neither dared hope for?
Eileen Dreyer crafts a tender, emotionally resonant Regency romance filled with warmth, wit, and heartfelt connection. Just One Kiss explores how love can arise from the most unexpected circumstances, offering readers a deeply satisfying story of duty, devotion, and the courage to embrace happiness when it arrives unannounced.

Eileen Dreyer's Bio
Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Eileen Dreyer is actually evil twins. Known as Kathleen Korbel to her Silhouette readers, she has published thirty-seven novels and novellas and 11 short stories in not only the various genres of romance (including historical, suspense, fantasy and contemporary) but suspense---most particularly medical forensic suspense, where she kills off the people who annoyed her when she worked as a trauma nurse She came to publishing from that world of trauma nursing, which taught her some very important lessons, the most important being "don't sweat the small stuff," or, as her family puts it, "come see me when you get hit by a bus." In addition to trauma, she is trained in death investigation and Tactical Medicine (technically she is eligible to be a medic on a SWAT team). Eileen won her first publishing award in 1987, being named the best new Contemporary Romance Author by Romantic Times. Since then she has garnered not only a prestigious Anthony Award nomination for mystery, but five Rita Awards from the Romance Writers of America, which afforded her a place as only the fourth member in the RWA Hall of Fame. Eileen is a voracious reader---of everything---who started writing at ten, when she ran out of Nancy Drews. She writes in two genres, because she believes in the message of both: hope and justice. (well, and because she hasn't finished that big fantasy yet) You can figure out which is which. A frequent speaker at writer's conferences and universities all across the country (and more recently, Italy), Eileen is a member not only of Romance Writers of America, but Novelists, Inc, Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, and, just in case things go wrong, Emergency Nurses Association. She has also assumed the mantle of unofficial mascot for the International Association of Forensic Nurses, a new forensic subspecialty that, amazingly enough, has begun to show up in her work. A lifelong resident of St. Louis, Missouri, Eileen has been married for forty-four years to husband Rick, and has two children and might have grandchildren. She also has animals but refuses to expose them to the glare of the limelight. An addicted traveler, she has sung in some of the best Irish pubs in the world, and enjoys the kind of hands-on book research that lets her salve an insatiable curiosity. She counts film producers, police detectives and Olympic athletes as some of her sources and friends.
