Romancing the Earl (Distinguished Rogues, #12)

On the brink of ruin and disgrace, Miss Lenore Griffin receives a letter offering employment as a companion to an earl’s new wife. Accepting a position in Lord Carmichael’s home in London is simply too good an opportunity to let slip through her fingers as it will remove any chance of being seduced. However, Lenore’s arrival creates confusion as the household staff remains ignorant of the offer, and the earl has not announced any marriage yet.

When Price Wagstaff lost the woman of his dreams, his life fell into an utter shambles. He has spent a restless half-year drinking, avoiding society and not thinking about the future, especially his eventual need for a wife and heir. Lenore Griffin’s arrival is a pleasant but unexpected surprise…until he reads the letter that brought her to his door. There’s only one thing he can do and consider himself a gentleman—make good on his offer to wed her and hope for the best.
