A Disreputable Earl

Ariel Tennant, the lovely young sister of the Viscount Derring, is relieved to be returning home after three weeks with her overbearing aunt.

With no nearby lodgings available, Simon Granville Thorson, the tenth Earl of Milford, generously consents to allow the strangers into his home.
