Description: England, 1811. When John Merrick, the Earl of Corbeau, is caught in a locked storeroom with Lady Grace, he has but one choice--marry her. He cannot bear to tarnish any woman's reputation, least of all Lady Grace's. Lady Grace Landon will do anything to help her mother and sisters, crushed and impoverished by her father's disgrace. But throwing herself into the arms of her dearest friend's older brother to trap him in marriage? Never. Contains mature themes.
Brief description: Ingrid Hahn is a failed administrative assistant with a B.A. in art history. Her love of reading has turned her mortgage payment into a book storage fee, which makes her the friend who you never want to ask you for help moving. Though originally from Seattle, she now lives in the metropolitan DC area with her ship-nerd husband, two small sons, and four opinionated cats. When she's not reading or writing, she loves knitting, theater, nature walks, travel, history, and is a hopelessly devoted fan of Jane Austen.
