My Best Friend's Earl

My Best Friend's Earl by Bethany Bennett offers an intriguing tale of a bold bookseller who finds herself unexpectedly entangled in romance. As she attempts to thwart her friend's engagement to an earl, she ends up falling for him instead.

The one thing Constance Martin wants most to avoid is a boring life. Her adventurous spirit is evident as she walks her cat with a leash in Hyde Park and famously called off her wedding at the altar to escape a monotonous marriage. When an aristocratic friend seeks her help to break off an engagement, Constance is more than eager for the excitement it'll bring. What could be more fun than devising plans to make a stuffy—but very handsome—earl break an engagement?

That resolve weakens whenever he thinks of Constance, the stunning whirlwind of chaos who questions his conventional views on marriage.

Constance believes marriage should be an adventure, while Oliver has always seen it as a transaction. Yet, when Constance is near, Oliver finds it harder to remember the drawbacks of falling in love...
