The Earl's Defiant Wallflower by Erica Ridley

4.0

When Oliver York, Earl of Carlisle comes back from the war he comes back with his wounded and broken friends and to find his father has died. He died in a rumor causing way and he died with some unexpected surprises for his son the heir.

When Oliver goes to his first ball after his return, he is attracted to the wallflower that seems to not quite fit in with the others. When he learns that she is pretty much shunned due to her American accent and her merchant grandparents, Oliver still makes his presence know to her. He is immediately put in his place and he is a little startled at her open and honest response to his questions.

Grace Halton has come from America with a plan in mind and that plan is the only thing she can think of. She can't be bothered with good looking Earl's that she can't stop thinking about. She can't be bothered with an Earl that might have financial problems and she certainly can't be interested in an Earl that she just might be developing feelings for.

This was an interesting story and well worth reading if you like this type of story.
