The Earl's Intimate Error (A Short Story)

Miss Prudence Canton loves her quiet life in the country, caring for her ailing father and their beloved horses. She’s become adept at fending off the advances of gentlemen until a bold stranger named Lord Woodleigh makes a visit to the stables. For a brief moment lust takes over, but Prudence’s father, and his gun, find them before things get out of hand.

Now, in order to pay for those stolen kisses, Lord Woodleigh is forced to find a husband for the woman whose reputation he himself nearly ruined. But matchmaking proves difficult as Prudence and Woodleigh slowly realize that their moment of passion could possibly become much, much more.
