Edward, The Earl of Swartingham, has finally returned to
his home in England after years traveling abroad. He left,
unable to face the memories of his family that had been
taken from him by smallpox when he was a boy. Although he
too had been sick, Edward didn't survive unscathed. His
face and body are forever marked with scars, a daily
reminder that he is alone. The earl is determined to find a
wife so that he can fill his ancestral home with love and
children once again.

newly returned and mysterious earl, earns Anna a position
as the earl's secretary. Although they get off to a rough
start, Anna and the earl quickly find themselves drawn to
one another. But it's not meant to be. The earl is looking
for a wife to give him children, and Anna cannot. Their
attraction is growing stronger every day and when Anna
finds out that the earl plans to seek pleasure with a lady
of the night, she's furious! She devises a risky plan that
will ensure his needs are met -- but so will hers!
THE RAVEN PRINCE offers an unexpected take on seduction as
Anna poses as a lady of the evening in order to have a
night with the man she wants, but knows she'll never have.
