An Earl Conquered by Louisa Cornell

Loss freezes the heart of a reclusive earl and clouds his judgment whilst his seductive housekeeper manages his bevy of mistresses and holds everyone’s secrets, especially her own.
Widowed and alone on the island of Jamaica, eighteen-year-old Cassandra Collins sees her position as housekeeper to a viscount’s brother as her salvation. Salvation turns to nightmare when she is forced to commit an irreparable act to save a child’s life. In fear of the consequences, she flees to England with the help of Captain El Goodrum who, after several years of hiding Cassandra, finds her the perfect position as head housekeeper over the five homes of an earl’s five mistresses. Her need to remain anonymous and her steady demeanor make her the perfect person upon whom he can rely. The handsome and somewhat aloof earl soon comes to depend on her for far more than order. Being his confidante and advisor is no real trial until she realizes the terrible temptation the man is every minute she’s with him.
