Only Earl In The World

Bridgerton Meets Drive Me Crazy in this Taming of the Dukes novella!

Lady Briar Fairview is content with the man her father has chosen for her to wed, considering they were childhood neighbors and he's the devil she knows. But when her fiancé forbids her from pursuing her suffragette interests and she refuses, he snubs her publicly for another. She's outraged and embarrassed by the scandal.

The Earl of Lushing, Jasper Lyndhurst, knows it's high time to marry. His friends have all settled down and his father might be dying, though he suspects it's all a ruse to get him to tie the knot. He proposes to a perfectly acceptable debutante, whom he has been courting, but she rejects him in favor of a suit of another gentleman—Lady Briar's former intended.

Briar and Jasper are like oil and water, but that doesn't stop them from secretly co-managing a social club, which they use to help downtrodden women. Desperate to save face against the gossip, they enact an audacious scheme of fake courtship to win back their previous flames, only to find that falling in love with each other might thwart their plans.
