The Countess Conspiracy: The Rainford-Bowston Tales Book 1

1830. All Blanche Rainford, the eldest daughter of the Rainford-Bowston family, wants is to make her family proud. After five unsuccessful years on the London marriage market, now on the cusp of spinsterhood, she can no longer stand their pity. Blanche decides that it is time to show them, and the rest of London, that she is capable, confident, and desirable. She will need a little help though...

Lord Albert White, the future Earl of Snowbury, is determined to leave his roguish past behind. When Blanche asks for his help in convincing her family that she is able to attract her own suitors without their interference, he decides to do the right thing and help her. In exchange she will tutor him to help him become the gentleman he wants to be.

The problem is that it is rather difficult for Albert to avoid falling into his old ways with such a tempting lady before him. A lady he cannot help but care about, a lady thinks might care for him. He never thought himself capable of love. Should he offer her a life together before she is snatched away by one of his rivals? The problem is that Blanche does not know that Albert's past is far darker than she could imagine, and he is keeping a terrible secret from her.
