About this eBook

Amidst the enchanting splendor of a quintessential village May Day festival, the poised and proper Lady Emma Finch embarks on an innocent outing with her spirited friends, fully unaware that destiny's whims are about to rewrite the script of her life. As the mirthful revelries unfold, an unexpected encounter with a dashing and audacious rogue sets the stage for a collision of hearts that neither of them saw coming.

Viscount Linley, the debonair and charming Archer Wakefield, graces the festival with a rakish demeanor, harboring a fondness for adventure and a reputation for mischief. Egged on by the challenge his companion proposes, Linley takes it upon himself to steal a kiss from a village maiden—a dare that appears as innocent as the blossoms adorning the Maypole.

Yet, beneath the surface of this seemingly frivolous pursuit, lies the intricate weaving of fate's threads. Emma and Linley's lips meet in a stolen moment, igniting a spark that resonates far beyond the festival grounds. Little do they realize that their shared May Day escapade is but the first step on a tumultuous journey of passion, longing, and unforeseen twists.

Venture forth into a world where bonnets and breeches conceal desires as potent as the most intoxicating elixirs, and where a stolen kiss amidst the mayflowers has the power to reshape destinies. Will Lady Emma and Viscount Linley claim the love they never knew they sought? Join them in this saga of longing, scandal, and romance that will sweep you into the rich tapestry of Regency-era passion and fervor.

This is the first time I read any of Amanda Mariel’s stories. Well I generally prefer my stories much longer this was a delightful lighthearted and fun read that I definitely enjoyed. I look forward to reading more from this author. Mayday festival in the Village is sure to be a fun day for Emma and her friends. Emma, the Earl of Heywood's daughter, hesitantly decides to attend the local Mayday Festival with The Duke of Thorne and his sisters and wife. But she goes as a commoner and gets separated from her friends. On a bet between Viscount Linley and Lord Hiltoncroft Linley kisses her. Recognizing her from the season balls he decides he will marry her. The characters are charming though I wish I had more of their backstory. The dialogue was witty and sweet. The story was delightful. Thank you Ms. Mariel for this fun story of two people who come together and realize this sweet love story.

Emma wasn't the type of girl to take risks. She often stood on the sidelines at balls turning men away, so she was reluctant to dress down to go to the May Day festival with her friends. Archer bets his friend he will be the first to kiss a village girl and it ends up being Emma. He says he realizes he's been attracted to her for a while, but how could he really know her from brief encounters at balls. When he is forced to offer marriage to her she protests several times saying he shouldn't be forced. I could see if she protested because she wanted to be courted first so she could know him better.

The lady stole his heart at the festival. A delightful tale of a possible scandal, misunderstanding, and fun at a May Day festival is what’s in store for this book’s characters. Emma is not really wanting to go and dressed like a commoner too but her friend Olivia talked her into it. Here she meets Archer Wakefield but like her, he is incognito too with his friend Hiltoncroft. I bet you can see where this is going. This is a quick and really entertaining book to read, the characters were totally splendid and Oh what a man will do to see his lady.
