Her Runaway Earl - Ladies in Scandal, #2

Lady Catherine Pennington is content with a life of art, not love. For starters, she has gotten over her childhood besotted. Well, buried him at the bottom of her heart the same way he left London - without a backward glance. But, when the man she vowed to forget walks through the doors of her gallery, Catherine's feelings resurface with a vengeance. He's a distraction she doesn't need, especially when a case of missing art pieces vie for her attention. Lord Jerrote Grant's world changed with the death of his parents, making his return to London two-fold.
One, it's time he take up the responsibilities of the earldom, and two, he desperately needs Catherine's forgiveness. Unfortunately, the latter proves more difficult than expected. Lady Catherine wants no part of his return, but as luck would have it, he has a plan for that.
