A New Countess (The Cramptons - #02)
Karina Bezerra
"Forgive me, milord, you have a visitor..."
"Visitors? I am tired, I have just arrived. Who would come to visit someone on a night like this?"
"A young lady, claiming to be your fiancée..."
"Are you mad? I have no fiancée!"
"Forgive me, milord, but could it be that you made false promises to some maiden?"
He never expected to marry. Much less a stranger.
Richard Crampton, Earl of Shurtland, is young, handsome, libertine — and completely averse to the idea of marriage. But an absurd agreement, made years ago during a drunken night at a tavern with an old friend, comes back to haunt he promised to marry that friend’s sister when the time was right.
Tired and freshly returned from travel, Richard finds in his drawing room a mysterious lady, dressed in white and in mourning, ready to honor the pact. With no time, no patience, and no belief in sentimentalities, the earl decides to fulfill his promise… and turn that woman into his countess.
What he does not imagine is that his bride hides a secret that could destroy his trust — and also his heart.
A blind marriage. A hidden identity. An unexpected desire.
Between lies, pride, and a past that refuses to stay buried, Richard will find himself torn between duty, distrust, and a love he never believed he deserved.
But what will happen when the truth comes to light?
