Ruined by the Ton

Misfits of the Ton, Book 2

By: Emily Royal

Narrated by: Ashford MacNab

An abandoned wife, a doubting husband . . . will the truth reunite them?

Kept on a tight rein by her guardian ever since a failed elopement, Lady Beatrice Thorpe has no intention of falling in love again—until she meets a widower with kind eyes and a gentle touch.

Augustus, the Earl of Hardwick, was widowed when his unfaithful wife died giving birth to her lover's child. On his return from exile abroad, he re-enters London society in search of the perfect, biddable bride. Beatrice catches his eye with her air of innocence, and her sorrowful gaze touches his heart.

Still bitter from his first wife's treachery, Augustus struggles to trust again, and Beatrice, broken-hearted by betrayal, is unwilling to risk her heart. Neither can deny their desire for each other, which heightens with each scorching kiss. But passion without love is never enough.

Will they risk their hearts to find the happiness they crave, or will their fears tear them apart?

Contains mature themes.
