title: The Earl Next Door
author: Michaels, Charis
description: American heiress Piety Grey is on the run. Suddenly in London and facing the renovation of a crumbling townhouse, she's determined to make a new life for herself -- anything is better than returning to New York City where a cruel mother and horrid betrothal await her. The last thing she needs is a dark, tempting earl inciting her at every turn…
  
  Trevor Rheese, the Earl of Falcondale, isn't interested in being a good neighbor. After fifteen years of familial obligation, he's finally free. But when the disarmingly beautiful Piety bursts through his wall -- and into his life -- his newfound freedom is threatened…even as his curiosity is piqued.
  
  Once Piety's family arrives in London, Falcondale suddenly finds himself in the midst of a mock courtship to protect the seductive woman who's turned his world upside down. It's all for show -- or at least it should be. But if Falcondale isn't careful, he may find a very real happily ever after with the woman of his dreams…
