Surrender to Scandal - Sins & Scandals Series, #5

THE SINS & SCANDALS SERIES While there are those who spend their time in modest pursuits, upholding propriety befitting the lords and ladies of the ton, it would seem that for others scandal is just a sin away.  SURRENDER TO SCANDAL  With an inheritance weighed down by scandal and debt, Benedict Laytham, the new Earl of Glenmor, is desperate to resurrect the family fortunes, even to the point of continuing his uncle's risky investments with a mysterious silent partner.
But when the tides turn on his investment, financial ruin looms. Desperate to save his family honor, Benedict returns to London vowing to find a wealthy bride and to uncover the identity of his silent partner.  Once, Miss Judith Sutherland dreamed of love, but it cost her everything. Humiliated, Judith returns home to care for her dying father, but his death brings her position as lady of the manor to an end.
After living far from the ton for years, she must find a new way to live, independent of any man. What better way than as a lady's companion? But a return to London means a return to the very people who caused her scandalous exile. A single dance and two lives change forever. As danger and scandal court Benedict and Judith once again, will they surrender to their heart's desire? Or will they allow duty and pride to destroy any chance at happiness?The Sins & Scandals Series:#1 An Invitation to Scandal#2 A Scandalous Passion#3 A Sinful Temptation#4 The Lady's Sinful Secret#5 Surrender to Scandal#6 A Sinner No More #7 The Sweetest Sin #8 A Most Scandalous Christmas#9 A Hint of Scandal
