The Earl's Inconvenient Nemesis

A sparkling Regency romance with stolen kisses, unsuitable suitors and a husband-hunting heroine.
Alice Fairfax has a list of eligible husbands, but one infuriating earl keeps driving them away.
Determined to save her family’s ancestral home, practical country girl Alice swallows her pride and heads to London for her first Season. She is prepared for fashionable gowns, awkward dancing and endless polite conversation.
She is not prepared for Anthony Worthing.
Her brother’s handsome best friend has tormented her since childhood, and now he has appointed himself her protector. Yet beneath Anthony’s rakish reputation is a man Alice barely recognises, and the more unsuitable suitors he drives away, the harder it becomes to remember why she once wanted anyone else.
Anthony has loved Alice for three years, but the family responsibility he keeps hidden means he can never offer her the uncomplicated future she deserves. Helping her marry another man should be the honourable choice.
One stolen kiss changes everything.
The Earl’s Inconvenient Nemesis is a sparkling, closed-door Regency romance perfect for readers who love Virginia Heath’s witty banter, Pride and Prejudice misunderstandings and Julia Quinn’s lively family dynamics
