If he wants a second chance at love, he must break his best friend’s heart.

Five years ago, Xavier Trevelyan spent one unforgettable night of passion with the love of his life. Now, as the Earl of Barforth, he’s resigned to a life alone—until she reappears as his best friend’s fiancé.

Having grown up in poverty, Sophia Jones knows she’s beyond lucky when her viscount cousin offers to marry her, elevating her and her sisters to their rightful place in society. She’ll do everything to protect this chance at financial security—even ignore the scorching memory of that night and the man she can’t forget.

Xavier is determined not to see his best friend marry Sophia. His passion for her still burns far too great, and he cannot stomach the thought of having her in his life forever without her being his. So he pushes her toward a secure future—far from himself.

But Sophia will have none of it. She knows a woman is best protected with a wedding band on her finger—but could that band be Xavier’s, and not her cousin’s?

As Xavier feels a flicker of hope that Sophia might finally be his, he must face two problems: his belief that a wounded, brooding man like himself can never be the husband she deserves, and that to have a second chance at love, he must break his best friend’s heart.

One Night with the Earl is a steamy Regency romance of second chances, forbidden passion, and the choice between duty and desire.
