   "I picked this book up to read before bed. The next thing I knew I was 62% into it and afraid to look at the clock to see just how late, well early into the morning, I had gone. I loved it and finished the rest of it well within a few more hours..."

  Three Abductions and an Earl
   is a full length Steamy Regency romance novel and Book 1 in the
  Parvenues & Paramours
   series.
  
  London-hating dreamer, Lydia Norwood, has failed spectacularly as a débutante. Now an
  encoretante
   whose family has lost a fortune, Lydia discovers that the beau monde is hard on a nouveau riche social climber, particularly one who is no longer riche and only wants to climb trees.
   Lydia must stave off effrontery and conniving competitors long enough to make a good match, or else incur society's scorn by earning her own money. Falling for the unattainable Lord Aldley is a distraction she cannot afford. But they share such an enchanted history, how can her heart resist?
   The tragically virtuous Earl of Aldley is tired of ambitious families hurling débutantes at his head, but cannot hide in France forever. He returns to London to seek out the mysterious tree-climbing girl who once saved him from a scheming chit, and finds more than he bargained for.
   Abductions, seductions, trickery and injury all endanger Lydia, but Lord Aldley's heart is imperiled beyond rescue. He has only just found her; will he lose her forever to his enemy, his best friend, or his own dangerous mistake?
