Books like I Heart The Earl by Caroline Linden
Margaret de Lacey has learned to accept her single status with grace, even though she has long lacked suitors and substantial wealth. That all changes when her brother unexpectedly inherits the dukedom of Durham, bringing an enormous dowry that turns Margaret into the most eligible heiress in town.
The Earl of Dowling, Rhys Corwen, sees the perfect match: a wealthy bride for his social ambitions. He introduces himself, but Margaret immediately rejects any man who might view her fortune as a handout. Instead, she sets clear boundaries for her heart.
Intrigued by her resolve, Rhys is drawn not only to Margaret’s financial security but, more importantly, to the prospect of love. As they navigate the social expectations of London society, they discover that true affection may be the greatest wealth of all.
