She believed herself to be ruined, and he didn’t care
Ruined in the eyes of polite society for breaking one of the unspoken rules of the ton, Lady Elise Pelham has had to make a life for herself in a world that is not easy for a single woman to navigate on her own. All she desires is to be able to live life on her own terms, embracing the freedom she now has without the shackles of propriety.
Returning to his family’s estate on the Dorset Coast, Reid Claybourn, the new Earl of Weston, wants to do anything other than take over the title. Resentful that he must now relinquish his influential place in the House of Commons to take up his seat in the House of Lords, he is struggling to find his place as the earl.
When Reid and Elise meet on his estate, the attraction between them is immediate. But will Elise be able to let go of the comfortable world she has created for herself in order to be with Reid? And can Reid find a way to embrace his new place in the peerage if he does not have Elise beside him?
Ruin and Redemption for the Earl is the second book in the exciting new regency historical romance series, the Reluctant Lords. While part of a series, it can be read as a standalone novel.
