The Danger in Tempting an Earl: At the Kingsborough Ball: 3 [Mass Market Paperback] Barnes, Sophie

At the Kingsborough Ball, where London's elite waltz through scandal and propriety, American heiress Katherine Crossby finds herself caught in the gaze of the one man she should avoid: Benjamin Ashford, the brooding Earl of Roxbury. He's sworn off society after a dark past left him scarred, both literally and emotionally. She's determined to make a respectable match despite her foreign blood. But when a mysterious threat forces them into close quarters, the walls they've both built start to crumble. Barnes delivers Regency romance with an edge — her heroes brood with purpose, her heroines have backbones, and the chemistry crackles beneath ballroom chandeliers. Third in the Kingsborough Ball series, but works as a standalone if you're in the mood for propriety tested, rules bent, and an earl who needs saving as much as his heroine. Perfect for fans of Julia Quinn with a slightly darker turn.
