H is for…Heroine. Phee, the last of the Templeton sisters to get her happily-ever-after is at the heart of this story, finally gets her chance in the spotlight.
E is for…Eloquent. James begins to see Phee in a new light after she eloquently scolds him for his poor treatment of Lord Gilbert. It’s the first time he truly sees her, and it leads them down the path of love.
R is for…Romance. What else?
E is for…Entranced. James doesn’t expect to fall in love with a lady like Euphemia Templeton, but it isn’t long before she’s all he can think about.
C is for…Caress. What’s a love story, without a few stolen kisses and caresses?
O is for…Ogle. It’s not polite to ogle a lady, but can one truly expect otherwise from a gentleman in love?
M is for…Magical. Can a love story be anything less, when two people who believe they’ll never fall in love become each other’s soul mate?
E is for…Embrace. Once Phee and James fall into each other’s arms, there is no going back.
S is for…Sweet, because James, for all that he’s a bit of a grump at first, is a cinnamon roll hero in disguise.
M is for…Magnetism. Phee and James might not like it, but they’re irresistibly drawn to each other.
Y is for…Yours, because despite their rocky start, Phee and James are meant to be each other’s.
E is for…Earls, of course. In this case, our earl is Lord James Haven, the arrogant and unfairly handsome Earl of Fairmont.
A is for…Adore. Is there anything more adorable that a gentleman teaching a lady with two left feet how to waltz?
R is for…Ravish. Um, this one speaks for itself…
L is for…Love, of course! It’s the reason why read romance.
Games Earls Play #5
Euphemia Templeton can’t wait to put the London season behind her forever, but before she can retire to the country in blessed obscurity, she has one final promise to keep. She must find a proper match for Lady Harriett Fairmont, who is embarking on her second season.
Matchmaking is easy for a lady with Phee’s skills, but when Harriett’s elder brother James, the arrogant, infuriating, and far too handsome Earl of Fairmont accompanies his sister to London, she soon has cause to regret her promise.
James doesn’t believe in matchmaking, he doesn’t approve of Harriett’s favored swain, and most of all, he doesn’t trust Euphemia Templeton, no matter how clever she is, or how charmingly her lips purse when he argues with her.
James and Phee challenge each other at every turn, but when a battle of wills becomes a battle for hearts, will Phee discover the only lady in London she can’t successfully match is…herself?
Romance Historical [Oliver-Heber Books, On Sale: April 9, 2024, 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.
