My One and Only Earl (Forever Yours Book 12)

Description

James Delaney’s dying wish was that his best friend, Lord Kingsley, marry his spinster sister. Unluckily, James is honor-bound to fulfill another oath and can never marry Miss Poppy Ashford, no matter how delightfully charming and sensual he finds her.

Treated horridly by her stepmother and half-sisters, Poppy has little to anticipate for her future. She is stunned when the devilishly handsome and most sought-after Lord Kingsley suggests a scheme that might make her more eligible and appealing to the marriage-minded gentlemen of society. Eager at the chance of a future that is more than her working as a governess, Poppy agrees to his lessons—even the ones in kissing!

Poppy knows every laugh, dance, and stolen kiss is just a pretense. So why does James make her heart throb so strongly, and why does her impossible dreams now include an earl she has little hopes of ever marrying?
