Entangled with the Earl (Tangled Threads Book 1)

Read Entangled with the Earl (Tangled Threads Book 1) Storyline:

As the Earl of Carlington, Martin Audley has spent ten long years working to restore the estate his father left in ruins — and wasted as little of them as possible in London ballrooms. When his grandfather, the Duke of Debenford passes away, it seems the end is in sight: a thirty thousand pound inheritance. The only condition? Martin must present his bride to the current Duke within a year.

Teresa grew up on the stories of the fairy tale romance her parents had, dreaming that she’d find her own true love amid the bustle of a London Season. But as her third Season draws to a close, her aunt makes it clear that her time is running out. If no other suitors present themselves, she’ll be married to a man three times her age by the end of summer.

Martin’s title guarantees he’ll have little trouble finding a bride but he wants someone with no delusions that love or romance has anything to do with marriage. Teresa has no interest in marrying an arrogant Earl with an aversion to romance, but that’s exactly the sort of suitor she needs to convince her uncle that she has better prospects than an elderly roue. So when the Earl surprises her with an invitation to dance, Teresa makes a bold proposal: she’ll use her knowledge of Society to match Martin with the perfect bride if he’ll play the suitor, buying her more time to look for love.

What neither of them allows for is an inconvenient and undeniable attraction — or that even the best laid plans can go awry…
