After leaving the army and falling out with his family, Catesby Burgoyne is drowning his sorrows when he comes across a woman being attacked by thugs. A fight is just what he needs, but little does he realize that the lady he rescues will change his life.
Prudence Youlgrave is not just the victim of ruffians. Her life has been made a shambles by her selfish brother and her brutish fiance. But she has a bold and courageous spirit Catesby can’t resist — and before he knows it, he rescues her again by marrying her himself.
A reckless adventurer may be forgiven for such an impulse. But when Catesby’s elder brother dies, he becomes the Earl of Malzard — and Prudence is suddenly a most unlikely countess. Neither she nor Catesby is prepared to face the shock of his family. Still almost strangers, Prudence and Catesby have no one to turn to but each other — and it is in each other’s arms that they find a love neither ever expected.
Why I LUST After An Unlikely Countess?
What’s not to love about this cover….so pretty. I love her gold dress and the somewhat hazy white background, has such a classy and elegant feel to it.
Oh..I hope it’s not the book I threw at the wall
Sumptuous gown! I love most of the Jo Beverley covers and this one is no exception.
I’ve been slowly accumulating a few Historical Romances here and there but I’ve yet to find the time to read them. You’re so right, though. This is a gorgeous cover!
Yes I totally agree with you about this cover it really is an gorgeous cover I absolutely love the pale color tone of this cover as well! Here is my #LC for this weekend http://lajerseychikareadsindiebooks.blogspot.com/2016/10/lusting-for-covers-63-second-chance.html
It is a very pretty cover, good choice.
oh yes its a gorgeous cover, love the dress
Ooo, I love this! I feel like we don’t see gold dresses a lot on HR covers… Sweetest Scoundrel by Elizabeth Hoyt comes to mind, but nothing else off the top of my head. I love this!
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
oh I know…I wish they did these colors more often. Kerrigan Byrne did a gold cover that I love too!!!
Oh yes, loving that cover!!
Very pretty. I love the soft tones.
That cover is gorgeous! And the story totally appeals to me. I’m adding it to my (ridiculous huge) TBR.
Such a pretty dress!
Nice! It just screams ‘timeless’ to me for some reason.
I like the colors and that dress. Looks great!
