    About this ebook

    A Lady in Need

    Orphaned and penniless, Portia Haverall is a comely young miss with few options. And an embarrassing encounter with oversized Lord Connor Dewhurst, Earl of Doncaster, further narrows her choices … to one. Forced by mishap and circumstance to accept a position as companion to the hulking earl’s invalid mother, Portia moves into Connor’s palatial estate – and becomes embroiled in a schme to help the clumsy lord find a suitable bride.

    A Lord Indeed

    A handsome giant who neither looks nor acts noble, Connor has for far too long ignored the fine art of courting – and implores Portia to school him in the social graces. But never does the reluctant tutor dream she will transform her pupil into the prize of the ton – or that she herself will ultimately fall amorous prey to his irresistible charms.
