The Irresistible Earl

By Regina Scott

Description:

If Chase Dearborn, the powerful Earl of Allyndale, found Meredee Price's family in Scarborough, surely he'd continue his quest to challenge Meredee's stepbrother to a duel. Meredee is determined to avoid the earl at all costs. But saving a drowning young lady thwarts Meredee's plans when her act of heroism nets her the attention of the lady's brother and guardian -- none other than Chase himself.

Meredee's gentle ways and tranquil beauty touch Chase's guarded heart from the moment he meets her. He's waited a lifetime for a worthy companion -- someone he can trust with his deepest secrets. But then he discovers that Meredee has harbored a secret of her own -- one that love may not overcome.

Why the author wrote this book:

I fell in love with Scarborough, England, while researching beach resorts of the nineteenth century. The town rose like a phoenix from the ashes, not once but three times. It was the perfect setting for a story about a woman who needed to find God's purpose for her life.
