title: The Earl of Kentford
author: Bennett, Susan
description: Welcome!  You are about to continue through the realm of the Four Horsemen, a secret society dedicated to protecting the downtrodden in an unforgiving world.  Each of the horsemen, their true identities known only to each other and a small handful of those in their confidence, write their own rules, live their lives as they so choose, and are unconcerned with anyone’s perceptions or the status quo.
  Though all of his fellow horsemen are now married, Miles Overton, the Earl of Kentford, has somehow managed to avoid the parson’s mousetrap.  Approached by Emily Preston at his annual ball, he finds himself intrigued with both her proposal and the fire he sees in her eyes.  A stranger has attempted to steal a valuable Shakespeare folio and she requires assistance in capturing the man before he succeeds. When Emily finds herself in a precarious position, Miles holds himself responsible for what has taken place.  In order to save her reputation, he takes her for his wife.  Will the tenuous bond between them be strong enough to survive their marriage of convenience?  Time alone will reveal if the passion that lies within each one blossoms into eternal love.
