Are you ready to go EARL CRAZY? Welcome to the fourth book in the Games Earls Play series! I’m delighted to give you a sneak peek into Kit and Tilly’s story.
Mathilda Templeton never meant to fall in love with an infamous rake. Her sister brought her to London for a season to find a dull, proper husband, but after a secret chance encounter with the wicked, scandalous Earl of Prestwick leads to a stolen kiss, Tilly fears no one but London’s most charming scoundrel will do for her.
Christopher Egan doesn’t need any more trouble, least of all a midnight visit from a blue-eyed, blushing virgin with more courage than sense. But Tilly Templeton isn’t like any innocent maiden he’s ever encountered. She’s irrepressible, unpredictable, an unholy nuisance bent on bedeviling him. Why can’t she see that she’s too innocent, too naïve, too trusting for a jaded rake like him?
If only she weren’t so tempting…
E is for…what else? Earls! There are no shortage of earls in the Games Earls Play series, and Earl Crazy is no exception.
A is for…Animals. One animal in particular, a naughty little Pomeranian named Lucien (or, as Tilly calls him, Lucifer).
R is for…Racy. Kit may not be a rake any longer, but he still knows how to make Tilly’s toes curl!
L is for…Longing Glances across a crowded ballroom, What fun is love, without a little yearning?
C is for…Curse. The Prestwick family curse, to be specific. Will Kit for victim to a duel like every other Earl of Prestwick before him, or will his heart remain beating for long enough for him to fall in love?
R is for… Romantic. Firelight, candlelight, rose gardens, and the sweet, spicy scent of cloves lingering on the fingertips of a silken glove. Need I say more?
A is for…Arousing. I won’t got into too much detail here (ahem), but if you’re curious, go directly to Chapter Twelve!
Z is for…this is a tough one, but I’m going with Zesty, in honor of Tilly, our heroine, who’s zest for life and love is infectious. Is it any wonder Kit falls madly in love with her?
Y is for…Yours. As in, forever yours. Once Kit and Tilly fall for each other, nothing can tear them apart.
Games Earls Play #4
Christopher Egan, heir to the notorious Prestwick Earldom, is one of London’s most scandalous rakes. He’s never credited the gossips’ claim that fate cast an ancient curse on every successive Earl of Prestwick as punishment for their wickedness, but once he inherits the earldom after his infamous uncle’s untimely demise, it looks as if he may be the next to lose his head. Determined to cheat the curse and avoid his ancestors’ grisly fate, Kit abandons his life of merry debauchery and embarks on a London season to wed the lady he’s long been promised to.
Mathilda Templeton has a knack for causing scandal. Wherever she goes, it follows on her heels. London is the last place such a provocative lady should dare set foot, but when her shy friend Harriett is sent to London for a season, Tilly is determined to protect Harriett from all the scoundrels salivating over her impressive dowry. All she has to do is find her friend a proper match without falling prey to another scandal.
When the scandalous Earl of Prestwick makes a play for Harriett’s hand, Tilly vows to do whatever she must to stop him. But when the battle of wills between them leads to a stolen kiss, Tilly fears she may have fallen in love with London’s most charming scoundrel.
Romance Historical [Oliver-Heber Books, On Sale: December 19, 2023, e-Book, / ]
Anna Bradley has been an avid reader, writer and book fondler since childhood, when she pilfered her first romance novel and stole away to her bedroom to devour it. This insatiable love of the written word persisted throughout her childhood in Maine, where it led to a master's degree in English Literature. Before she became a writer, Anna worked with a rare books library featuring works by British women writers from the 1600s through the Regency period. Here she indulged in her love of stories, fondled smooth, leather-bound volumes to her heart's content and dreamed of becoming a writer. Anna writes steamy historical romance (think garters, fops and riding crops) and squeezes in a career as a writing and literature professor on the side. She lives with her husband and two children in Portland, OR, where people are delightfully weird and love to read.
