Book Description:
An original short story from New York Times bestselling author of
historical romance, Suzanne Enoch…
Geoffrey Kerick, the Earl of Vashton, has had marriage-minded ladies
flung at him for the past two years—since he inherited his brother’s title and
wealth—which is much less amusing than when they were simply flinging
themselves into his bed for fun.
However, this particular invitation for a country house party in
Devonshire he accepts with alacrity; because this time someone has caught his eye.
Theodora Meacham is resigned to being second; a second daughter, second
in beauty, and a distant second in charm.
Knowing that the irritating Lord Vashton is coming to Beldath Hall to
woo her sister, Theo is, for once, quite happy to remain detached from the
silliness. But Lord Vashton isn’t
preciselyt he boor she expects. Even
more surprising, he seems determined to ignore her sister…in favor of her!
Can two people who are perfectly ill-suited find that two wrongs do make
a right?
