If An Earl Exacts Engagement
Amylia Lloyd
The first time Marcus Francis met his brother’s fiancée, she took his breath away. Her face haunted his dreams at night as he fought for the Crown on the Crimean Peninsula. Now she is a widow, raising his younger sister, and he is the new Earl of Stanford, but British law prohibits a marriage between them. He knows he should avoid her at all costs, but instead, he moves her into a nearby cottage, confident in his ability to resist temptation.
Louisa, Countess of Stanford, is baffled by her cold, domineering (but painfully handsome) brother-in-law. He has all but forced her and young Charlotte to move from Paris to Brighton, and now Louisa wishes only to be left in peace. At least that’s what she tells herself. But when he kisses her one night, she is shocked by how much she wants this stern, proud man who can never be her husband.
