A Deal with a Cruel Earl: A Historical Regency Romance Novel (Regency Expedient Marriages Book 6)
You want an arranged marriage, not one of love, so why would I be any different to my sister? I come with the same dowery. Why not me?
A monster haunts Rycroft Hall. Everyone knows that. But when Prudy is forced to marry Hall’s somber tenant, she quickly learns that the scarred Earl is a man to run from but the one who might need saving…

So, when the local Marquess is ready to sell off his nephew to the highest bidder, Jasper Copperwell is first in line to trade in his daughter. But Prudy’s sister Catherine is so very in love with another. How can she allow her dearest companion to give up everything she adores to be married to the haunting spectre that lurks around Rycroft Hall.

Perhaps if she can unpick the horrors that have moulded Gideon Rycroft into a creature of the night, she can find a way to make this marriage work.
