Description

USA Today bestselling author Charis Michaels enchants with her Awakened by a Kiss series, taking our favorite fairy tales' forgotten characters and making them the hero of their own story.

An
heiress with a plan…


Lady Helena
Lark has spent years trying to escape her wedding to the vain and boring Duke
of Lusk. She’s evaded, refused, even run away. When her family’s patience runs
out, they pack her off to London to walk down the aisle. But Helena has another
idea: find a more suitable bride to take her place, even if she must look for a
replacement duchess every day.


 

A
bodyguard with a job to do…


Declan Shaw,
better known as “The Huntsman,” is a mercenary who can pick and choose his
clientele. After his last job, escorting a young noblewoman to France, landed
him in jail under false accusations, he wants nothing to do with aristocrats or
women. But the law isn’t done with him, and if he agrees to babysit a duke’s
errant fiancé, the payout could make his legal troubles go away.


 

A
most unexpected alliance…


When their
worlds collide, Declan realizes that containing his new client is only slightly
harder than keeping his hands off her. Helena senses an ally in her handsome
new bodyguard and solicits his help. Together they must escape the forces that
oppose them and fight for the fairy-tale love they desire.

About the author(s)

USA Today bestselling author Charis Michaels believes a romance novel is a long, entertaining answer to the question, “So, how did you two meet?” and she loves making up new ways for fictional characters to meet and dislike each other before falling in love instead. She grew up on a peach farm in Texas and gave tours at Disney World in college but now can be found raising her family and writing love stories from her screened-in porch in Northern Virginia.
