The Rose and the Earl — Jillian Eaton

Four roses, pretty and fair
All with different color hair
Lenora, stern and strict and wise
Bridget, quiet, bookish, and shy
Annabel who wants happily after
Eloise who will bend to no master
In their secret garden waiting
For a man to set their heart racing...

Annabel has long dreamed of what her wedding day will be like. The only problem? She's missing a groom! And while her suitors are all very nice, none of them are exactly swoon-worthy. Until the night her carriage is overtaken by a highwayman...and a stolen kiss leaves her yearning to find the identity of the handsome stranger who set her blood on fire before he disappeared into the night.

In what was supposed to be a prank gone awry, Ezra Washington, Earl of Whitmore, finds himself holding up the wrong carriage...and kissing the ravishing temptress inside of it. As the days go by, Ezra attempts to get the mysterious woman out of his head, but try as he might, he cannot escape the spell that she's cast upon him. When their paths cross again, one thing is clear: Ezra might have stolen Annabel's first kiss, but she's stolen his heart. And he wants it back.
