A sexy new feminist historical romance from award-winning author Anna Harrington.
Brandon Pearce, former brigadier and now the Earl West, is determined to help the girl he once loved save her property and the charity she's been struggling to build. But he'll have to deceive her first...
Twelve years ago, Brandon Pearce had to give up the girl he loved, Amelia Howard. Now Amelia is a grown woman with a past she desperately needs to keep hidden in order to save her brother Frederick's reputation. In an effort to avoid blackmail, Frederick needs to place a list of gentlemen into government positions, and for that, he'll need an ally in Parliament—Pearce.
Pearce has been investigating Scepter, a criminal group the Armory believes is behind the government appointments. Pearce must pretend that he sides with the blackmailer, even though it means breaking Amelia's heart. But Pearce is willing to do anything he can for a second chance with her, even when he discovers she's been keeping secrets of her own.
Get out your smelling salts: This sexy Regency romance features a second-chance romance between a former military commander who stubbornly thinks he knows best and a strong-headed heroine who will fight tooth and nail for those she loves.

AN UNEXPECTED EARL by Anna Harrington
An Unexpected Earl by Anna Harrington, book two in her Lords of the Armory series is another wonderful read; filled with amusing banter, a second chance romance, magnetic attraction, chemistry, and subterfuge.
Twelve years ago, Brandon Pearce, a former brigadier and now the Earl West, was forced to give up the girl he loved, Amelia Howard. After unexpectedly meeting again, Pearce is determined to help the girl he once loved save her property and the charity she’s been struggling to build.
Amelia is determined to save her brother, Frederick’s reputation, while needing to keep her own past hidden. In trying to avoid blackmail, Frederick needs to place a list of gentlemen into government positions and with no slots remaining he needed an ally in Parliament; hoping it would be Pearce.
As a member of the Armory, Pearce has been investing Scepter, a criminal believed to be behind the government appointments. To do this, Pearce pretends to side with Frederick, possibly breaking Amelia’s heart. But Pearce will do anything he can for a second chance with Amelia, even after he discovers the secrets she’d been keeping.
I do enjoy a story with a strong, stubborn heroine and an alpha hero who thinks he knows best. The battles and disagreements between Pearce and Amelia seemed to be an attempt at foreplay. Being a former military commander, Pearce expected people to obey his orders and requests. As you can guess, Amelia was not one to be obedient; knowing her own mind and determined to prove her independence. Pearce loved Amelia, especially her determination to fight for and protect those she loves.
I really loved reading this book and had a great deal of trouble it down. Ms. Harrington wrote a beautiful love story that is not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with kindness, magnetic attraction, off the charts chemistry, amusing conversations, and endearing characters giving Amelia and Pearce the opportunity for a second chance at love. I highly recommend An Unexpected Earl to other readers.
