Nancy Campbell Allen

Regency Proper Romance #1

regency romance(4k)

A reluctant new earl hires a clever tutor to learn society's rules — and falls for her instead.

Description

Jack would rather stay at sea than fix the mistakes of his grandfather, the late Earl of Stansworth. But inheriting his grandfather's wealth and title and securing the welfare of his sister and mother require living with the aristocracy. Ivy Carlisle, the granddaughter of a dear old family friend, is willing to teach him etiquette and properly introduce him into society. Yet Jack soon learns that his new lifestyle isn't the only challenge. He must survive the conspiracies against him -- and try not to fall madly in love with his tutor.
