The Calico Countess — Barbara Hazard

THE INDEPENDENT YOUNG LADY AND THE INSUFFERABLE EARL

When Miss Lorna Jarrett met Peter Truesdale, the Earl of Norwell, they detested each other at first sight.

Lorna was convinced she had never met a gentleman so infuriatingly arrogant and so thoroughly conceited as this lord from London.
