The Earl of Spades by Emily Windsor
(0)

A gentleman the London Ton desires – a newly titled earl.
Miles Firth, Earl of Stonewold, prefers cavalry boots to dancing slippers. A former captain, he’s a man of order and command. And now earl – a reluctant one.
Lauded by society as a rugged war hero and most eligible bachelor, his one flaw, in their view, is an avid interest in…plants.

A lady the London Ton disdains – an unconventional spinster.
Miss Verity Seymour would rather be hurtling around Town in her Pomona-green phaeton with her eccentric aunt and ruined cousin than brave a stifling ballroom.
Branded by society as a scandalous spinster, her one merit, in their view, is an artistic talent for…cat portraits.
But cats are not Verity’s only portraits…
