April Kihlstrom: The Wicked Groom

The Wicked Groom by April Kihlstrom was published in April 1996 and is the story of Diana Westcott who is betrothed unknowingly to the Duke of Berenford. She is agreeable until she meets the new groom and he steals a kiss! Little does she know that the lowly groom is her high ranking suitor! This is the first book in the Miss Tibbles series.

Allan Kass shows us the scene where the groom kisses Lady Diana. Our hero is dressed very casually while our heroine is ready for riding. I like the two horses standing in the background.
