An Unexpected Earl: 2 Harrington, Anna

London, 1820. Brandon Pearce never wanted to be an earl — he was a soldier, built for battlefields, not ballrooms. But when his brother dies, he inherits a crumbling estate, a pile of debts, and a scandal that could destroy his family's name. Enter Amelia Howard, a sharp-tongued spinster with her own secrets and a knack for impossible situations. She's the last person Brandon should trust, but she might be the only one who can help him save everything. Anna Harrington delivers Regency romance with backbone — witty banter, slow-burn tension, and characters who actually earn their happy ending. If you like your historical romance with a bit of grit and a hero who doesn't have it all figured out, this is your book.
