The Sum of All Kisses

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Regency-era England, the novel unfolds a captivating story of love, misunderstandings, and the intricate dance of relationships. Hugh Prentice, a man of wit and intellect, finds himself at odds with a woman he deems an unbearable know-it-all. His life, which once revolved around a predictable routine, is thrown into disarray by the spirited and feisty character he encounters.

Hugh’s disdain for her outspoken nature soon blurs the line between annoyance and intrigue. The deeper he delves into her world, the more he discovers her layers—her passions, her vulnerabilities, and a spirit that challenges his perceptions. Amidst a backdrop of societal expectations and personal dilemmas, the tension between them ignites unexpected chemistry, making them both question their initial impressions.

The journey is rich with humor, romance, and the poignant realization that true understanding often comes from embracing one's flaws. Through witty banter and heartfelt moments, they begin to discover that love may just be the answer to their discord. Unbeknownst to them, each kiss brings them one step closer to embracing a life neither of them ever imagined.
