ONLY EARL IN THE WORLD: A Taming of the Dukes novella

When Lady Briar Fairview's fiancé publicly humiliates her for refusing to abandon her suffragette cause, the last person she expects to come to her rescue is Jasper Lyndhurst, the infuriatingly charming Earl of Lushing—her greatest adversary in every London drawing room.

But Jasper has his own wounded pride to nurse after his intended bride rejects him, and suddenly the most maddening woman in the ton looks like the perfect solution. The proposal is simple: a fake courtship designed to ignite jealousy in their former flames and restore their reputations. The execution, however, proves anything but simple when the two discover they share far more than mutual disdain.

Set against the glittering and rigid backdrop of Regency society, this scorching novella in Amalie Howard's beloved Taming of the Dukes series simmers with wit, tension, and slow-burning chemistry. Behind closed doors, Briar and Jasper are secret allies running a clandestine club that shelters society's most vulnerable women—a cause that draws them closer with every stolen meeting, every charged glance, every argument that crackles with something dangerously close to desire.

Briar wrote the rules for keeping her heart guarded. Jasper swore he'd never fall for someone so stubbornly principled. Yet the more they pretend, the more impossible it becomes to remember where the performance ends and the truth begins.

Some enemies were always meant to surrender—to each other.
