Earl to the Rescue [Mass Market Paperback] Ashford, Jane

A Regency earl. A spirited young woman. A fake engagement that threatens to become inconveniently real. Jane Ashford delivers a charming romp through English high society where propriety is everything and love is the ultimate scandal. When Gwendolyn Townsend needs protection from an unwanted suitor, Alexander Wycliffe, Earl of Salbridge, steps in with a ruse that satisfies society's expectations while buying them both time. What neither expects is how convincing their charade becomes — or how difficult it will be to untangle duty from desire. Ashford writes with a light touch and genuine wit, crafting characters who feel like people you'd want to have tea with rather than historical cardboard cutouts. Perfect for fans of Julia Quinn or anyone who needs a cozy escape into ballrooms, banter, and the kind of longing glances that could ruin a reputation.
