How Not to Marry an Earl

She much prefers an American stranger over the earl she’s meant to marry—but a surprise awaits . . .

To escape marriage to the newly inherited Earl of Comstock, bookish Charity, the plainest of the Strickland sisters, must find her family’s missing diamonds.

She meets her match in an intellectual stranger auditing the estate . . . not knowing he is Lord Comstock himself!

With him, Charity feels different—even desirable! But will seizing one night of passion bind her to the very man she’s determined to avoid?
