"A Pearl for an Earl"

By tragedy has Lionel Jameson become the next Earl of Westborough. By his own self-destructive appetites will he be the last of his line, for no woman deserves to be burdened with a man so sinfully dissolute, so very close to ruin. Certainly not the angelic Clarisse Helmsford, returned to society in the full bloom of her womanly beauty. Yet from the first moment she saw him, Clarisse has longed for the young nobleman. Reentering London society after a long convalescence abroad, her passion reignites at the first sight of his stern face. To claim his love at last, she must convince him to set aside his anguish and accept what she always has longed to give him: her heart, her body, her soul.
