<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"To satisfy his debt to the man who saved his life-at the cost of his own-Captain Charles Wyvern agrees to accompany the man's grieving fiancâee and mother to a cottage by the seaside. Along the way, he learns that his uncle has passed away, and that he is now the new Earl of Rothwell. When he and the ladies arrive at his new manor house in Devon, they discover a gaggle of girls, wards of the former earl, and an estate in need of a leader. Out of his depth with the girls, and wishing to provide for Lady Sophia Haverly and fulfill his obligation to her fiancâe, Charles proposes a marriage of convenience. Sophie has the care of her betrothed's mother, an elderly woman who is losing her grip on reality. When they arrive at Rothwell, Sophie falls in love with the girls, seeing a chance to help the captain, as well as divert her attention from her grief. She agrees to marry the captain in name only and take care of his property and his wards when he returns to the sea. But when the captain is arrested for smuggling, she realizes how much he's come to mean to her, and how she's going to have to fight, not only for his freedom but also for his love"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Can Captain Wyvern keep his new marriage of convenience all business--or will it turn into something more?</b> <p/>Captain Charles Wyvern owes a great debt to the man who saved his life--especially since Major Richardson lost his own life in the process. The best way to honor that hero's dying wish is for Wyvern to escort the man's grieving fiancée and mother safely to a new cottage home by the sea. But along the way, he learns of another obligation that has fallen on his shoulders: his uncle has died and the captain is now the Earl of Rothwell. <p/>When he and the ladies arrive at his new manor house in Devon, they discover an estate in need of a leader and a gaggle of girls, all wards of the former earl. War the new earl knows; young ladies and properties he does not. Still wishing to provide for the bereaved Lady Sophia Haverly, Charles proposes a marriage of convenience. <p/>Sophie is surprised to find she isn't opposed to the idea. It will help her care for her betrothed's elderly mother, and she's already fallen in love with the wayward girls on the Rothwell estate. This alliance is a chance to repay the captain who has done so much for her care, as well as divert her attention from her grief. When Wyvern returns to his sea commission, she'll stay behind to oversee his property and wards. <p/>It sounds so simple. Until the stalwart captain is arrested on suspicion of smuggling, and Sophie realizes how much he's come to mean to her. Now she'll have to learn to fight, not only for his freedom but also for his love.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>The Indebted Earl</i> is a marvelous book.
