title: To Kill an Earl
author: Bennett, Susan
description: Eleanor Clarke’s peaceful life is suddenly shattered when she realizes that her hero is not a dream, but rather a hellish nightmare that she cannot escape.  Appearing three years after the death of her father, he invades her dreams by night and her conscience by day, using those dreams to seduce her mind, her body and her soul.  Now, completely vulnerable to him, this callous apparition orders her to do the unthinkable and commit a murder.  Confused by the blurring of the lines between the living and those who haunt this world, she does not understand why he would take her heart only to order her to engage in such an immoral act.  Eleanor can no longer be certain of anything.  All she really knows is that she has no choice.  If Robert lives, Eleanor will die.  She must kill Robert, the Earl of Devonshire.
  
  To Kill an Earl twists its way through the world of the ton and the London Season while carefully placing true love and its meaning center stage.  To read this story is to know that not everything is as it appears and that Shakespeare was right when he penned the quote, “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” (Hamlet (1.5.167-8), Hamlet to Horatio)
