Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Hugh Winthrop, the future Earl of Albury, decides to advertise for a wife in the London paper, he never expected an anonymous response from a woman who matches him wit for wit. Their back-and-forth letters on the true nature of love, something they disagree on wholeheartedly, leave him shocked\u2014and intrigued. But then the woman he\u2019s been corresponding with shows up on his doorstep, enticingly beautiful and offering a marriage of convenience in exchange for his protection\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lady Phoebe Maitland expected to marry for love and nothing else, until the man she gave her trust betrayed her. The more intrigued she becomes by the mysterious and devastatingly handsome Hugh, however, the more she realizes he\u2019s holding back from opening his heart due to long-held secrets she struggles to understand. As passion flares wickedly between them, their marriage bed is quick to heat up. But when Phoebe\u2019s past threatens to destroy the fragile bond they\u2019ve formed, even a budding belief in love might not be enough to save them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

When the Earl Met His Match Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoebe could feel Hugh\u2019s stare like a physical caress along her nape then down to her hip. I\u2019ll yield to your persuasion\u2026 <\/em>Or more like his ravishment. Only a few steps away from the door, she whirled around and ran toward him without checking her speed. His beautiful eyes widened, and before he could react or even guess her intention, Phoebe jumped, grabbing his shoulders to haul herself up so she could wrap her legs around his hips. She did not concentrate on this very scandalous and outrageous position\u2014that her dress had been pushed to her knees and she was wrapped around her husband like a vine, her ankles hooked around his back\u2014but releasing one of his shoulders, she lunged to pluck the note he had been trying to hide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes! She turned her triumphant gaze to him and realized their mouths were mere inches apart and her husband had frozen. Clearly, he had not expected her actions, but Phoebe hadn\u2019t thought it would have so shocked him that he\u2019d turned into this marble effigy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She could feel his heartbeat against her breasts, which she had pressed so firmly against his chest. A wave of heat overwhelmed Phoebe, and she was unexpectedly mortified and intensely aware that she could feel every imprint of her lord\u2019s body against hers. Her fingers tightened reflexively on his shoulder, and his lashes closed briefly, as if he savoured the sting of her nails that penetrated through the layers of his jacket and shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been improper,\u201d she whispered, painfully aware of how close his lips were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoebe placed the note close to her cheek. \u201cPlease take it back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRead it<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2026no, you did not want me to, and I should not have acted with such wanton disregard for your privacy\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He pressed a finger to her parted lips. Then he lifted those fingers and signed, \u201cPhoebe<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRead it<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Painfully aware that she was still clasped intimately against him, she turned her head and lowered her gaze to the letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Phoebe,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like you<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have started out wrong. I am happy that you are my wife. I listen to you sing to our daughter, and her chortles of joy make my heart hurt. I\u2019ve never felt such an emotion before, but I\u2019ve gathered it is a good thing, because I also want to smile whenever I see Franny and you together. Whenever you laugh, her legs kick, and her smile is comparable to the beauty of yours. How I wish she could hear my voice, even if once. How I wish I could sing for you\u2026laugh with you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
