A Reckoning for the Earl: A Regency Historical Romance

By Ruth A. Casie

In a world of buried lies and second chances, love may be the most dangerous discovery of all.

A year after her husband's death, Lady Georgina Ravenstock returns to Sommer-by-the-Sea to settle his affairs, not unearth a conspiracy. But a hidden ledger, whispers of corruption, and the sudden reappearance of Major Alexander Weld, the new Earl of Hawkesbury, pull her into the dangers he hoped to leave behind.

Alex came home to bury his father and uncover the truth behind a string of deadly mining accidents. Instead, he finds the woman he once loved standing in his path and at the center of a web of secrets tied to the ruthless Order of Shadows that will kill to stay hidden.

Together, they must expose the truth before history repeats itself, even if it costs them their lives ...or their hearts.

A Reckoning for the Earl delivers slow-burn romance, danger, and a love worth the risk.
