Because the Earl Loved Me

An arranged marriage to her brother’s best friend is not Lady Anne’s first choice -- until he also becomes her savior.

Life should be simple for the beautiful daughter of a duke. Courtship, marriage, children, with a man such as the careful, practical Christopher, the Earl of Merryweather. Except Lady Anne Finchley has dreams of gracing the stage as an actress, a forbidden calling for a woman of her birth.

A chance meeting at a country theatre changes Anne’s fate forever. When she falls victim to a shocking accident, she finds herself saved by the man she once rejected, and begins to see him much differently than she ever has before. It might just be too late for Christopher, who must overcome Anne’s rejection of him as well as the scandal now attached to her.

Everything is telling them they are wrong for one another -- but then why does being together feel so right?
