The Enigmatic Earl
A Seductive Regency Short Story
Can a battle weary
lord preparing to head for the Season’s marriage mart find love in an
unexpected place?
When Richard Merilstone, the Earl of Surcliffe, and Drake
Warfield, Viscount Allum, ride up to their favorite haunt the Angel Fayre Inn to
escape an impending storm, they are dismayed to find it appears to be closed.
But when they enter the quiet inn they find not only the
owners, Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose, who are preparing for a family trip, but their
niece Miss Angela Lowry. Although the inn is closed for business, as old and
valued customers they are invited to join the family for dinner.
The Season is in full swing and both gentlemen must leave
for London in the following days to begin their search for a bride. It is time
to marry and neither is looking forward to it. They don’t expect to have the
same luck as their friend and neighbor James Ashburn, the Marquess of Telforn,
who despite his marriage of convenience was lucky enough to find love.
But under the tender auspices of the owner’s beautiful young
niece, one last night at the inn proves to be revealing in many ways for one of
them, and his life may never be the same.
