Earl of Kendal by Madeline Martin
HE HAS A REPUTATION FOR BEING A SCOUNDREL…
Adolphus Merrick, Earl of Kendal, has a past he isn’t proud of, one that could have seen him hanged. Now the gaming hell owner of Mercy’s Door has an even greater secret, one he is so determined to protect that he’ll even do the unthinkable: get married. For a man who doesn’t trust easily, his alluring intended has a way of breaking through his guard and edging into his heart.
SHE IS A BIT OF A HOYDEN…
Lady Sophia Stopford lives her life to the fullest. At least, she did until her father insists that she wed one of his colleagues. She’ll do anything to get out of marrying, including escaping for a thrilling new venture. However, the very man who gave her the idea is now insisting that she return to London as his wife. And while she wants to resist, her attraction to the enigmatic Earl of Kendal has her curiosity piqued and her desire aflame.
TOGETHER THEY WILL CAUSE QUITE THE SCANDAL…
From ballrooms to gaming hells and into the wilds of Scotland, two people who don’t want marriage but can’t seem to resist one another will tumble headlong into an adventure that will change everything. When danger lurks and realities become bleak, can the spark of passion light their way? Or will love and hope be eternally lost to them both?

Earl of Kendal, the 26th book in the Wicked Earls' Club series, was about Adolphus Merrick, the third Earl of Kendal, a man with a past he was not proud of and quite a few secrets, and Lady Sophia Stopford, the youngest child of the Earl of Gullsville, whose father was insisting that she marry one of his associates, Mr. Mongerton, the owner of a gaming hell called the Fox Hole, a man over twice her age. After speaking with Merrick and learning the way to make whisky, Sophia sneaked out of her father's home and made her way to Scotland in the hopes of earning her own way and avoiding the forced marriage. Her father, upon the realization she had disappeared, went to Lord Merrick and blackmailed him into finding and then marrying Sophia. With no other choice, Merrick agreed. After having chased Sophia to Scotland, and then having to give further chase after she runs from him twice, Merrick informed her, at her insistence, as to why he would have to marry her. The emotions that ran the gamut in this book were off the chain. The angst was high at points, as was the drama, intrigue, and chemistry. The passion was...sizzling, but not so hot to burn the reader ;). This book will definitely be added to the Keeper for the Shelves collection.
