The diamond of the debutantes has a fortnight to turn an army captain into the hottest bachelor of the Season.
He never wanted a title
Fresh off the battlefield, Captain David Ellsworth has returned home to discover the shocking and unwelcome news that heās the new Earl of Elmwood. Though David had no idea he was in line for a title, he and his sister must now navigate the snark-infested waters of the London ton. He knows how to be a soldier, an officer, and a brother, but he hasnāt a clue how to be an earl. David will need all the help he can get. Even if it comes from the undeniably beautiful woman...who is the darling of the world he detests.
She never wanted a husband
The younger sister of a marquess, Lady Annabelle Bellham moves through elegant ballrooms with the ease of a lioness traversing the jungle. Sheās the most elusive belle at every ball, and gentlemen have long placed bets on which lucky man will finally win her hand. But Annabelle has no intention of falling prey to a manās charms. She's seen the destruction wrought by marriage and is dead set on avoiding a similar fate.
But here they areā¦
Thankfully, Annabelleās older brother hasnāt pressured her to take a husbandāyet. Which is why she feels obliged to agree when he asks her a favor: To teach the newly minted Earl of Elmwood how to act in Society. Still, the task shouldnāt be too difficult. All Annabelle must do is spend countless hours in the company of a handsome, brooding ex-soldierāwhoās making her question every rule sheās set for herself. She and David have nothing in common except a fiery passion and some highly inconvenient feelingsā¦could it be enough?
