Earl of Kent, Book 15 of the Wicked Earls' Club series was about Phillip Wilkes, the Earl of Kent, and Ella Humphrey, daughter of the Earl of Lonsdale and the younger sister to one of Phillip's best friends. When Ella was 15, Phillip spent time with her family for the Christmas holiday and she developed a crush on him. One night the two were playing pool and when she won a game, she requested a kiss for her prize. When Phillip gave her a chaste kiss on the forehead, it crushed her and she ran from the room in tears. Five years later, Phillip was assaulted and left for dead. He was rescued by Ella's oldest brother, Charles, and Lord Lennox and taken to Charles' home along with Graham, Ella's other brother, who was also injured in the attack. Ella learned of their injuries and went to help take care of them. The reason behind the attack was never fully explained. It was only ever said that it was done by the enemies of a friend...which actually turned out to be the enemies of Charles. Once Phillip recovered enough to get around again, he left without saying goodbye to Ella, and she didn't see him again for another year. There was heartache, passion, love, romance, angst, drama, humor, pain...the whole gamut of emotions...and love won after all. This was definitely a love story worth keeping; therefore it will join the other Keeper for the Shelves novels.
