Courtney Milan
Turner #1.5
A wallflower faces her former bully — now an earl desperate to atone — and refuses to make it easy for him.
Description
From New York Times bestselling author Courtney Milan... A perpetual wallflower destined for spinsterhood, Lady Elaine Warren is resigned to her position in society. So when Evan Carlton, the powerful, popular Earl of Westfeld, singles her out upon his return to England, she knows what it means. Her former tormenter is up to his old tricks, and she's his intended victim. This time, though, the earl is going to discover that wallflowers can fight back. Evan has come to regret his cruel, callow past. At first, he only wants to make up for past wrongs. But when Elaine throws his initial apology in his face, he finds himself wanting more. And this time, what torments him might be love... Unlocked is a novella of 28,000 words (about 111 pages).
