title: The Scandal in Kissing an Heir: At the Kingsborough Ball
author:  Sophie Barnes 
description: Lady Rebecca needs a man, and she needs one fast. If Rebecca doesnt find a suitable man to marry, her horrible, greedy uncle and aunt are going to marry her off to either a sweet but ancient earl or a lecherous old duke. Daniel Neville needs a wife, and he needs one immediately. If Daniel doesnt become engaged to a suitable lady within a months time, his father is going to cut off his allowance for good. When Rebecca meets Daniel at the Kingsborough Ball, it would seem they are the answer to each others prayers. Unfortunately, Rebecca has no intention of spending the rest of her life married to an unfaithful rogue, which means Daniel must quickly find a way to convince her he is definitely a reformed rake. Barnes flair for clever banter and her gift for creating charmingly quirky characters prove to be a winning combination in the latest sparkling addition to her At the Kingsborough Ball series. Fans of comic, cleverly crafted Regency historical romances will definitely want to add Barnes to their reading lists. --John Charles

  Recent heiress, Miss Amanda Sharp, is out in Society for the first time and
  enjoying the social whirl, especially when she dances her first dance with the
  handsome Lord Somersby. She’s aware of his bad reputation with ladies, but
  she’s confident she can lead him down the aisle to the altar without raising a
  scandal. Headstrong, and determined to reform Lord Somersby, Amanda finds
  herself in danger of losing more than a hand of cards to the scandalous lord.
  
  After several months of licking the wounds he received at a disastrous
  Christmas party, Richard, Lord Somersby, has another wager to win. He must woo
  and jilt three young ladies in a month’s time in order to win his racing
  stable before donning the leg shackle of marriage with a duke’s daughter. His
  third victim is Miss Amanda Sharpe, a refreshingly determined young woman who
  makes her interest in him well known. It should be child’s play for the
  villainous Richard to woo her, make her think he’s in love with her,
