The Kiss by Gustav KlimtSynopsis from Amazon:
Notorious rake Jack Fairchild leaves London for the quiet village of Middledale in order to escape creditors and take over a law practice, hoping to earn enough money to pay his late father's debts. Ironically, Jack devotes himself to helping the unfortunate souls in debtors prison while facing the same fate himself, although if his grandfather dies, he will have a title and thereby be immune from such a fate. On his first day in town, he runs into Liza Cranshaw, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, whom he met years ago at a ball. So smitten was she, she has refused all marriage proposals until a devious viscount blackmails her into accepting his offer. Jack learns of her plight, and in true hero fashion, decides to rescue the fair maiden, while she, in turn, rescues him from a loveless existence.
