Lucy Ellyson fell in love with Justin Grey, Earl of
Clifton, he promised to come back for her and marry her
when he was finished with his assignment as a spy. But
when he did not come back she had no choice but to move
on.
Several years have gone by and Justin is back and heart
broken over losing Lucy. Now he needs to find a wife who
can save his estates or find a way to obtain the fortune
his brother left to an unknown woman named Lady Standon,
imagine his shock to discover Lucy outside the Lady's
home. Maybe she would help him find out why his brother
would leave his money to some stranger. After all, she is
the one who taught him everything he knows about being a
spy and how to be a thief.
Unknown to Justin is that Lucy is Lady Standon and she has
a secret that he can never find out about. But, trying to
stay away from the man who still holds her heart is not an
easy task. As much as she still feels the pain of his
deserting her in her time of need she cannot stop the fact
that she is still very much in love with Justin. But, an
Earl does not marry someone like her, a daughter of a
thief and spy. She learned her lesson the first time she
is not about to go through that pain again. What she does
not realize is that Justin is not ready to let her go a
second time and will do what he can to win her back.
Elizabeth Boyle has done it again, HOW I MET MY COUNTESS
is fun, romantic and a must read. Lucy is not your
typical lady and is not ashamed of that fact and Justin
who is your typical Earl is taught how to let some of that
stuffiness go. There are some characters through out the
book that are old familiar faces we have seen in some of
Ms. Boyle's previous books, that is a treat all on its
own.
Lucy Ellyson, the improper daughter of an infamous spy,
saves the life of the Earl of Clifton. He intends to make
her his countess after the war ends, but when he finally is
able to return to her, he finds that she's vanished.
Meanwhile, Lucy is living a new life in the heart of
Mayfair. But she's as scandalous as ever, and when Clifton
finally happens upon her, she's landed in the sort of
trouble that only a hasty marriage can solve. He's more than
willing to step in, but their future is all too quickly
threatened by secrets from the past.
