Synopsis

Ethan Penn-Leith is the most renowned poet of his day—his likeness so widely recognized, he is regularly accosted by adoring admirers. Everyone wants something from him—his time, words, charm, torn bits of his kilt . . . Everyone, that is, but Lady Allegra Gilbert.

Twin sister to the authoritarian Duke of Kendall, Lady Allegra fights for freedom from her brother's iron-gripped control. She has a plan for her future, after all, one that does not involve her ducal twin. Ethan Penn-Leith with his knee-melting smiles and boyish charm is merely a pretty distraction along the path to independence.

The problem? Ethan and Lady Allegra once shared a life-altering kiss on a rugged mountain road in Italy when she was disguised as someone else entirely. Ever the poet, Ethan turned their romantic kiss into a scandalous, best-selling poem. Now, all of London is clamoring to know the identity of the poet's unnamed lady.

If she wishes her freedom, Lady Allegra needs to keep her secrets, well . . . secret. Ethan wants nothing more than to uncover all of Allegra's truths.

Ethan and Allegra struggle to decide what they each truly want. Or perhaps, in the end, fate will turn turn on one kiss alone?

Goodreads review by Lauren

"A kiss is a communion. An exchange of spirit right along with breath." I'm a simple fan girl. I see a Nichole Van book, I read it, hyper obsess over every character and then mourn getting to the close. One Kiss Alone is the love story of a highland poet and the lady he can't get out of his head Somet......more

Goodreads review by Dab

Ethan has been betrayed in the previous book so I’m glad that his book was better than Malcolm’s, ha! Allie is held captive by the Duke of Kendall, her autocratic twin brother, who is trying to marry her off to an elderly lord. Ethan is a Highland poet and a celebrity, but his father was a mere farme......more

Goodreads review by Nuria

Since the first two books took over my life and left me in a stoic hero/angst-adled haze, this was a nice change in the series with our shield-your-eyes sunshiny Scot and my first laser-focused, fierce heroine by Ms. Van. And it still gave the utterly well constructed characterization depth and down......more

Goodreads review by Melanie

I could applaud the romance all day, but simply put, its wonderful. This is closed door, but my spicey pepper ladies should enjoy it. It still gives all the tension, angst and attraction. ⚘️The pace is on point, the Scottish accent is perfectly executed in the writing, (as always with Nichole) the ch......more

Goodreads review by Savannah

I'm convinced Nichole Van can do no wrong. Each one of her books is incredibly romantic but also deeply personal with her characters' growth.
