About this ebook

She watched the world—until it turned on her. Lady Leonora Whickerton was always curious, quietly studying life from the edge of the ballroom. But one moment of innocent observation led to an act of cruelty she never saw coming. Fear took root. Her notebook stayed open, but her world closed in.

He failed someone once—and vowed never to let it happen again. Drake Shaw, Marquess of Pemberton, carries the weight of silence. He once stood by when he should have spoken out, and the regret has shaped his every step since. By night, he defends those without a voice. By day, he hides in plain sight.

Together, they begin again—slowly, bravely, beautifully. When Leonora’s path crosses Drake’s, she meets a man who sees her fear... and refuses to let it define her. He offers protection. She offers quiet courage. And as trust begins to grow between them, so does something neither expected: the strength to heal, and the chance to love.

If you’ve ever had to piece yourself back together, quietly, slowly, and bravely—then turn the page. This story starts there.

“Once Upon a Temptingly Ruinous Kiss" is an enjoyable story from one of my favorite authors. The romance between Leonora and Drake was a joy to read, especially as Drake helps Leonora regain her strength and overcome her insecurities in such a unique way. I also loved Grandma Edie and her mischievous antics. This is another charming and romantic love story that I highly recommend. I'm already looking forward to the next book in the series.

Leonora is haunted by ann incident in her past but knows she must rejoin society. On first meeting Drake Pemberton her reaction to him is similar to any man outside of her family but something changes, he seems to understand her & quickly becomes someone she feels safe with. As time goes by he helps her feel stronger & regain her self-confidence. Can there be more between them? Loved the plot, the interaction between the family & the final denouement when Leonora stands up for herself.
