title: The Eccentric Earl
author: Shaw, Anne
description: An Earl hires an actor to help him woo his wife. My name is Henry, Earl of Freemont and I am an eccentric. My inability to read people's expressions makes it difficult for me to connect with strangers. When I met Charlotte, I knew she was the woman I wanted to marry. Unlike the other society ladies, she treated me like a man and not as an aberration. I was excited to start my new life with her, but our wedding night proved a disaster. Determined to find a way to make things right between us, I hired Trick, an actor, to help me woo my wife. After the first time Trick kissed me, things became complicated. I still loved Charlotte and desired her like no other.But I desired Trick as well.
