The Sinful Secret of a Broken Earl by Lucinda Nelson

It takes time to heal a wound, they say… But in his case, her passion is the way…
When Lord Henry Rivers, the Earl of Radingley, discovers that his wife has left him for another man, his entire life seems to fall apart. Left with a young daughter who resembles her mother an awful lot, he turns into a rogue trying to escape his pain.
Miss Magdalene Riley, known as Maggie, is absolutely desperate. After her father loses all of their fortune to gambling, the once graceful Lady is left destitute, trying to make ends meet for her and her brother.
When Lord Henry makes them an offer they can’t refuse, Maggie will find herself working for the surly and harsh Lord as his daughter’s governess. And though their interactions are fraught with tension, there seems to be a brewing desire neither of them can ignore.
But betrayal is a bitter pill to swallow for Henry and fate has a will of its own.
When his wife is suddenly found murdered, all fingers point at Henry and soon Magdalene will have to choose between logic and her heart.
And just as Henry discovers that Magdalene may be the one to heal his heart, he may lose her forever… along with his life…
