Enticing the Earl
by Nicole Byrd

What would compel a proper—and beautiful—young widow to offer her services as a courtesan? Lauryn Applegate Harris wishes to retrieve the family estate that her grief-stricken father-in-law has lost to the rakish earl of Sutton. But more than that, tired of her genteel poverty and her lifetime of caring for others, she is rebelling.

This good girl is going to be bad—at least until the handsome and sexy earl tires of her!

But the earl shows no signs of becoming bored–his fascination with Lauryn’s beauty and her fiery and courageous spirit only grows with each passion-filled night.

But for both, this adventure has unexpected consequences. The passion that builds between Lauryn and Marcus is stronger and more fulfilling than any she has known before.

And Lauryn holds his heart like no other woman.

When a shipwrecked cargo worth a king’s ransom finds its way back home, a house party from hell, hints of smuggling, and unexplained murders threaten their idyllic tryst, and lovemaking is not the only game afoot. Can they survive long enough to learn if love can build from a such a duplicitous beginning?

An Applegate Sisters story…
