She Will Be Loved

When Tristan Noel, the devilish rogue Lord Beckwith, meets Sophia Hadleigh at a ball, he is instantly smitten. He knows he'll tire of her, as he usually does with any woman who catches his fancy, but he's happy to exhaust his interest in her charming company. And yet she disappears, seemingly into thin air, before Tristan can even claim his first kiss.

When next he meets Miss Hadleigh, it is one year later, and her circumstances are vastly different. He finds her wandering the countryside alone and in despair, not at all the captivating minx he'd met last year. He senses some nefarious tactic at play, but having been haunted by her captivating emerald gaze, Trevor readily offers her escape from a wicked cousin with designs on her inheritance.

"Him or me," the handsome earl commands, forcing Sophia to choose between the devil she knows and this one, whose cool and compelling gaze seems to hold an entirely different set of problems.

"I choose you."

Now all the self-indulgent earl has to do is prove to the very alluring Sophia that he is worthy of her love.
