A Countess by Christmas by Annie Burrows
3.0
Helen Forrest was lucky to be taken in by her mother's, sister's, husband's sister when her parents died. No one else wanted her. But now her adopted aunt has lost her inheritance and has to go to the head of the family for help.
The Earl of Bridgemere only lets his family come at Christmas time. Otherwise the greediness and grasping makes him too sick to his stomach. The first meeting between the two does not go well. He thinks she's a paid companion and she thinks he's a footman.
His first marriage was a disaster that left him cold and now the Earl just wants to live his life in peace. But something about Helen captures his attention. Mostly the way that she doesn't suck up to him and seems determined not to ask him for anything.
