It's in His Kiss

More about the book

A New York Times Bestseller from #1 bestselling author Julia Quinn, this story features Hyacinth Bridgerton in the seventh installment of her beloved Regency-set novels about the charming Bridgerton family, now adapted by Shondaland for Netflix. Gareth St. Clair finds himself in a precarious situation. His father, who despises him, is intent on ruining the St. Clair estates and jeopardizing Gareth's inheritance. The only thing left to him is an old family diary that may hold the secrets of his past and the key to his future, but it’s written in Italian, a language Gareth does not speak. Hyacinth Bridgerton stands out in society with her sharp intellect and outspoken nature, and Gareth finds her both charming and vexing. Their paths cross at the annual Smythe-Smith musicale, where Hyacinth perceives Gareth's words as challenges. She offers to translate his diary, despite her own limited Italian skills. As they work together to uncover the diary's mysteries, they realize that the true answers lie within their growing connection. Ultimately, they discover that nothing is as simple—or as complicated—as a single, perfect kiss.
