You Never Forget Your First Earl
by
Ella Quinn

GENRE: Historical (Regency)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
With
her three good friends all recently married, Elizabeth Turley is ready for some
husband-hunting of her own. One gentleman in particular sparks her interest.
Geoffrey, Earl of Harrington is tall, handsome, and dashing. He’s also just a
bit too sure of himself. But Elizabeth has observed enough about the rules of
attraction to pique the earl’s attention. Yet once she has it, the discovery of
a troubling secret taints her future happiness…
Lord
Harrington must marry or lose a prestigious position in Brussels, and pretty,
well-connected Elizabeth fits his needs admirably. But could it be that he has
underestimated his bride? She doesn’t bat an eye in the face of the danger they
encounter overseas. She’s strong-willed, intelligent, and more enticing each
day—yet also more indifferent to him. Now Geoffrey faces his greatest
challenge: to woo and win his own wife, or risk losing her for good…

EXCERPT TWO:
Once
Gavin had accompanied Lord Harrington into the house, her aunt looked at
Elizabeth. “Well, what did you think?”
“After
his initial stiffness, he was quite charming.” Even if he didn’t kiss her
fingers.
“He’s
a handsome man,” her aunt mused.
She
had studied him as he’d strolled off with Gavin. She had been right. It was
clear his tall frame and broad shoulders had no need of padding anywhere. “Yes.
His eyes in particular are a beautiful color blue. They almost match the
sapphire he wore.” His hair was blond but slightly darker than hers. “I like
the way his hair curls.”
“But
he is not pretty,” Aunt said. “Not like Byron.”
“No.
He is very manly looking. His jaw is firm.” Not able to get the vision of his
shoulders and shapely legs out of her mind, Elizabeth fought the urge to sigh.
She might be a little too interested in his physical attributes.
“And
he was attentive to you,” her aunt prodded.
“Yes,
he was very attentive.” Especially when he talked about going abroad. In fact,
that was almost the only thing he discussed. He had not asked anything about
her likes and dislikes.
“Very
well.” Her aunt’s tone was a bit impatient. “He is tall, blond, and handsome.
He appears, from his conversation, to be intelligent and well read. He comes
from a good family. He will be a marquis someday, and he wishes to be wed.”
Aunt Bristow arched a brow. “Tell me. What is it about him that you do not
like?”
Her
aunt was right. Something about Lord Harrington had struck Elizabeth as . . .
off. She pushed is physical looks aside and focused on what was bothering her.
Lord knows it wasn’t his appearance. It was not his demeanor as such. It was .
. . was he really interested in her? “He wants this position so badly that I
believe he will marry any suitable lady just to have it.” She scrunched up her
face. “Do you know what I mean?” Her aunt stared at her, clearly not
understanding. She’d have to find a different way to put it. “It strikes me
that in a way he is like a fortune hunter. He does not care who he weds, so long
as he can have what he wants. In the case of a fortune hunter it is the money.
In Lord Harrington’s case, it is the position with Sir Charles.” She rubbed the
space between her eyes, trying to ease the tension she felt. “I do not wish to
be the means to an end.”
Aunt
rang the bell on the table next to her. “You do not think he cares if his
affections are engaged.”
A
footman appeared carrying two glasses and a decanter of claret. After setting
it down, he returned to the house.
“I
am not even sure if he cares about compatibility.”
