A seductive Welsh earl on the brink of ruin. A wealthy cit in search of a hero.
Miss Evelina Franklin reads too many romance novels. She’s certain a handsome duke—or dashing highwayman—is in her future. In the meantime, Evie entertains herself with the admirers vying for her fortune.
The Earl of Brecken needs cash. His late father left their Welsh estate in ruin, and his mother will not let him rest until it is restored to its former glory. Notorious for his seductive charm, he searches the ballrooms for a wealthy heiress. His choices are dismal until he meets Miss Franklin. Guileless and gorgeous with an enormous dowry, she seems the answer to his prayers. Until his conscience makes an unexpected appearance.

(Side note to start off: the above blurb makes it sound like the late Earl of Brecken wasted the money of the earldom when, in fact, his health is what kept him unaware of what the old steward's son (the new steward) was doing with the money. The blurb also makes Evelina sound like a feather-brained ninny who had her head in romance novels and not a clear thought in her head, stating that she was "a wealthy cit in search of a hero. Miss Evelina Franklin reads too many romance novels. She’s certain that a handsome duke—or dashing highwayman—is in her future. In the meantime, Evie entertains herself with the admirers vying for her fortune." From reading the book, itself, this was nowhere near the truth about Evelina, so the blurb might turn some readers away, but the truth is that it does not tell the truth about the two main characters. so don't be frightened away by it.) Earl of Brecken, Book 33 of the Wicked Earls' Club series (although, due to the dates in the book, it should come after the Earl of Bergen, and before the Earl of Darby as the Earl of Sunderland pronounced the Earl of Darby to still be a widower and, had therefore not yet married again), and Book 5 of the Once Upon a Widow series, was about Madoc "Doc", Earl of Brecken, and Miss Evelina Franklin, daughter of Baronet Sir Horace Franklin, whose mother longs for one of her daughters to marry a titled gentleman to "improve her standing in society". Upon returning from years serving the Crown on the Continent, Lord Brecken found his village and his home nearly destitute, thanks to his father's bad health and his father's steward's stealing from the coffers. Evelina had an older sister, Fenella, who had been promptly humiliated during her debut the year before by a group of cads who had made a wager for one of them to get any "green girl" alone and kiss her while the rest of them hid so they could witness the downfall of the girl. Evelina wanted to see her sister happy too and did her best to help, but unfortunately, her parents decided she needed to go to Scotland till the end of the season in order to make things easier for her...and for Evelina to make a match. The angst and drama were high, but the chemistry between Evelina and Doc was unmistakable. There were equal amounts of humor, pain, fear, anger, and joy throughout the story. The way the book changed frequently was astonishing and definitely kept the reader wondering what would happen next. The surprises that leaped out at every opportunity were quite interesting and entertaining. This book definitely has a place with the Keeper for the Shelves collection.
