An Earl by Any Other Name

Sins and Scandals, Book 1

A most proper earl. A not-so-proper heiress. A match fit for a fairytale.

Leopold Graham never expected to inherit his earldom so soon—or the massive debt his father saddled the title with. Forced to leave behind his pursuit of hedonistic pleasure and instead pursue a suitable, wealthy heiress, Leo sees nothing but a long, dull future ahead of him.

Ivy Leighton may be a wealthy heiress, but she's definitely not suitable. Her exotic Romani roots are cause for scorn amongst most of high society. Not that Ivy minds overmuch. She's too independent and free spirited to worry about things like that. Then she meets Leo...and her mind conjures all sorts of delicious trouble they could indulge in together. She just needs to convince him that sometimes a little scandal can lead to a lifetime of happiness.

Contains mature themes.

Great short story

I really like the story. I'm really bummed it was a short story. I wanted to go even deeper with the characters. I do know there's three more books. I look forward to reading them.
