The American Earl
by Joan Wolf
When the Earl of Althorpe dies his daughter Julia is
horrified to learn that the new earl is an American. Her father has left their
estate, Stoverton, burdened with enormous debt and the only good news about the
new earl is that he’s a millionaire. Julia’s hope is that he will bail the
estate out and go back home to America, leaving her to run Stoverton, as she
always has.
Evan Marshall, the new earl, has no use for the British and
certainly does not want to be an English earl. However, he finds not only has
he inherited enormous debts, but he is now the guardian of two girls – Julia
and her younger sister Maria.
On the advice of his aunt, he agrees to give Julia a London
Season so she can catch a husband and take care of Maria. Then he’ll be able to
go home to America, where he belongs.
Nothing goes according to either of these very determined
people’s plans.
