This Earl of Mine by Kate Bateman

Georgiana Caversteed is desperate to keep her fortune and herself out of her cousin's hands.  She comes up with the perfect solution: a marriage without a husband.  Georgie marries a condemned criminal in Newgate prison.  After the first heated kiss from her groom, she never expects to see him again until she spots him in a crowded ballroom. Benedict Wylde was undercover in Newgate working for Bow Street and never expected to be forced into a marriage.  He is a second son who is helping his brother with the disastrous financial state of the estate.  He starts courting Georgie in public only to find that sparks start to fly.  Can they make their unusual start of a marriage work?


This is the first book in the Bow Street Bachelors series.  I liked the characters.  Georgie was a strong heroine that was attempting to protect her family business from her nasty cousin.  Benedict is a war hero that is attempting to help his brother.  I liked the attraction between them.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC provided by NetGalley and the publisher.  Thank you.
