The Unconventional Countess
A country girl thrust into the cutthroat London Season needs a husband to avoid destitution. With no social graces, an eccentric past, and a wardrobe of borrowed horrors, her only hope lies with a jaded Earl known for unintentionally launching ladies into popularity. Can this unlikely pair navigate the ton's treacherous waters and find a match before time runs out?
The suffocating scent of beeswax and wealth hangs heavy in the air of White's Gentlemen's Club. Lord Edmund Westworth, Earl of Beaumont, sits at a gaming table, a mask of boredom concealing his thoughts as he wins yet another hand. He'd much rather be at his estate, far from the forced gaiety of the London Season his mother insists he attend.
Suddenly, a familiar, welcome hand claps his shoulder. "Edmund, can you ever let someone else win?!"
It's William Saville, his oldest friend, here to beg a favor from his formidable mother – Edmund must dance with William's young sister, Anne, at Almack's tonight.
