How the Earl Fell for His Countess by Laura A. Barnes

A love that must overcome deception…

She tried everything to make a certain gentleman take notice. He only wanted the lady’s attention for financial gain. After a scandalous night and a swift ride to Gretna Green, can the couple admit to their true feelings of love for one another?

Evelyn Holbrooke found herself married after a remarkable night spent in the earl’s bed. She fell in love with Reese Worthington after their first kiss. However, she used deception to make him fall for her charms. Now, trapped in a stormy marriage, Evelyn only hoped for his forgiveness. After getting caught in a rainstorm, her husband seduced her with help from his matchmaking family. Evelyn believed Reese forgave her with his warm regard, stolen kisses, and intimate evenings, until her family arrived for a visit. Then her happily ever after came to a halt because of her husband’s need for revenge. Since they were both deceitful in their intentions toward each other, Evelyn hoped for a reconciliation. Can Evelyn convince Reese to open his heart to love?

At every turn, life dealt Reese Worthington obstacles to overcome. With his latest dilemma, he found himself married to a lady who trapped him into a marriage based on deception. Reese fought the attraction he felt toward Evelyn with every whisper, moan, and scream. After he sought his own revenge, he realized he couldn’t resist how she captured his soul with her every action. He tried to hold on to his fury, only to succumb to his desires for Evelyn. Too afraid to allow her love to weaken him, he pushed her away. When he realized how much her love affected him, he attempted to woo her back only to fall victim to his own blunders. Can Reese prove to Evelyn that he is worthy of her love?

Reese thought he married a dull debutante. Evelyn thought she married Prince Charming. When their marriage exposed each other’s true character, would they allow their attraction to destroy the other? Or would they see how it only strengthened their love?
