A Rogue in Earl's Clothing

SHE CAN GUARD HER HEARTMiss Alina James is a touch too tall, several shades to brown, and almost completely blind. A far cry from a diamond of the first water. But that doesn't stop her from yearning to experience passion, adventure, and independence. Desires it seems she'll have to abandon when her father declares she must find a husband before the end of the season. FROM EVERY DANGERLord Henry Augusts Hayley, Earl of Daventry, is devastatingly handsome, unscrupulous, and detested by most of polite society. A vexing impediment when trying to escort one's sister through her first season. How can he get her married when every gentleman of note scuttles off when he enters the room? EXCEPT LOVE ITSELFAn encounter with the deceptively prim-and surprisingly fierce-Miss James might offer Lord Daventry the solution he seeks. The intriguing sprite offers him a marriage of convenience that will reform his tarnished reputation and see his sister's prospects soar. In exchange, he'll provide her with two weeks where she will experience the full meaning of womanhood, after which they'll return to their separate lives. As the two begin their precarious game of give and take, they soon realize they have a chance at a life—and love—they never imagined.
