Earl of St. Seville by Christina McKnight
When a bluestocking spinster sets her mind to something… Lady Patience Lane, daughter of the Earl of Desmond and legendary boxer Ivory Bess, grew up learning to fight, not how to mind her manners. She always expected she’d become a trainer like her mother, until injuries from the ring led to her mother’s untimely death. Now, she’s determined to save other families from the same heartache, by teaching others about the dangers of boxing. Nothing could bring her back to the world she left—until she meets a mysterious stranger who sets her pulse racing.
And a dark, dangerous lord interferes… Sinclair Chambers, the Earl of St. Seville and known as “Sin” to his cohorts, inherited an insolvent estate. He has to make money, and fast, or his tenants will starve. The prize purses from the bareknuckle mills will go a long way to solving his problems, if he can win them. To be a success in the ring, he needs the best trainer, and Patience Lane is the best there is—all he has to do is convince her that he’ll only fight once.
They just might find their happily ever after in each other’s arms. The more time Sin and Patience spend together, the closer they become. Soon, Sin’s thoughts are less about winning in the ring, and more about winning Patience’s heart. But can a relationship born out of wicked deception stand the test of time?

Earl of St. Seville, Book 12 of the Wicked Earls' Club (perhaps it should have been book 8 as the Earl of Davenport is still single in this book), was about Sinclair "Sin" Chambers, Earl of St. Seville, a man who inherited the title and destitute estate from his late father, and Lady Patience Lane, daughter of the Earl of Desmond and legendary boxer Ivory Bess. Sin needed to come up with the money, fast, in order to keep his family and tenants from starving, and the only way he knew to do that was to fight for the prize money he would get after winning the boxing matches. Patience was doing everything she could to stop such matches as they were responsible for the death of her mother. However, Sin was not trained in the way of the Town's version of bare-knuckle boxing and the only one who could train him properly was ... Patience. However, because her mother died due to injuries sustained from all her years of boxing, Patience was against and actively protested boxing. Without saying another word about the outcome of the book, I will say that there was plenty of angst, drama, and a smidge of humor. The chemistry between the two main characters was subtle, and the passion was a bare simmer, but they were evident enough to allow for this book to be included with the other Keeper for the Shelves books.
