The earl has a proposition

He wants her as his mistress!

Miss Emma Waverley will do anything for her family—especially since she was the one to ruin their reputations with her failed elopement years ago!

MARY BRENDAN was born in North London, but now lives in rural Suffolk. She has always had a fascination with bygone days, and enjoys the research involved in writing historical fiction. When not at her computer she can be found trying to bring order to her large overgrown garden, or browsing local fairs and junk shops for that elusive bargain.
