The Earl’s Unspoken Love by Rose Pearson

Can a childhood friendship turn into love? Or will they miss their chance?

When flowers begin arriving at Lady Almeria’s door, she is first pleased and then confused. With no name attached to her gifts, how is she ever to tell which gentleman they are coming from? Thinking to use ‘The London Ledger’ to discover the gentleman behind it, Almeria is delighted when one upstanding, highly titled gentleman claims himself to be her admirer. The only problem, however, is that she feels no spark of interest when they first meet.
Marcus, Earl of Coppinger has long admired Lady Almeria. Having been acquainted as children, he has never forgotten her and, even though she treats him as a dear friend, he can never think of her as only that. Uncertain as to what else to do, he begins to send flowers and notes – only for another gentleman to declare himself.
With Lady Almeria appearing quite contented, Marcus fears he must step away, only for one dark evening to reveal a good deal more about her new beau. Determined to protect her, Marcus steps into the melee… only to find himself pulled further from Lady Almeria than ever before.

Will they manage to bridge the gap between them? And can a spark of love ignite in Lady Almeria’s heart for him?
