About this listen
A widowed earl, a governess who is far too clever for her own good, two motherless little girls, and one small dog who manages to bring them all together...
"Your First Kiss holds the answer to all that you desire". The fortune drew only laughter from Matilda Fortune when Madame Zeta, a visiting gypsy uttered the ridiculous words...At eight and 20, Tildy's first kiss had long come and gone. As had the gentleman who bestowed it...
The Earl of Willoughby, widowed and lost, has given up on love. Since the death of his wife, he's lived in a fog. In route to London for the season, his mischievous daughters insist upon stopping at a small village to have their fortunes told at a traveling fair. If only he hadn't allowed the gypsy to read his palm. Is it possible, his future is hidden in the past?

But when the Will is read, Adam learns most of the wealth has been left to a complete stranger, and a seamstress at that. If he hopes to salvage any kind of funds for himself, he has two choices: adhere to his late uncle’s wishes and assist the new heiress in finding her way, or sabotage her so the courts will find her unfit to inherit. Deciding his course would be easier if the heiress wasn’t so enchanting.
