An arranged marriage. A reluctant earl. A sensible sister discovering that logic is no safeguard against love.

Miss Eloise Blakewood is the second of five sisters, and if her father has his way, she will soon follow her elder sister in making what he calls an advantageous match - a phrase that never bodes well for anyone involved. Eloise, ever the reasonable one, has decided that marriage is best endured with dignity, detachment, and perhaps a well-timed headache.

The Earl of Portmere disagrees. Unfortunately, he also disagrees about nearly everything else. Proud, brooding, and burdened with family expectations, Laevin considers matrimony a punishment best served cold. Yet Eloise’s calm defiance unsettles him in ways no scolding ever could. What begins as a contest of manners becomes an alliance of minds - and, to their mutual dismay, hearts.

When a meddling aunt’s scandal threatens to destroy what neither dares to name, Eloise must decide whether her composure is worth more than her courage - and Laevin must learn that some battles are best won by standing beside one’s equal.

Eloise and the Earl is the second novel in the Heirs & Graces series, following the Blakewood sisters as they outwit society and confound expectation in equal measure. Closed-door Regency romance with intelligence, irony, and heroines who behave exactly as they shouldn’t.
