Wanted: An Earl for Hire

Book excerpt: Just because this heiress can buy an earl of her very own, doesn't necessarily mean that she should... But then again, it's not permanent. Just temporary. It's more like an earl rental, really. What's the worst that might happen? That’s what Miss Charlotte Pennington asks herself when she puts a notice in the paper. Her goal? To hire a lord to help her conduct an investigation into murder. And perhaps give her life it’s missing meaning. That’s not too much to ask is it? Surely there is an impoverished lord somewhere willing to help her. But when the handsome Earl of Westmoreland answers her ad, Charlotte didn’t count him being quite so dashing or mysterious. Does he know she’s the very heiress he’s been searching for? But as the murder plot thickens so does the air between them. And Charlotte must answer the question…does she catch a murderer or allow herself to be caught by an earl? Perhaps she should kiss him to find out…
