The Earl of Tempest told her to stay away. Less than a year ago, they were in love, practically betrothed. Then Lord Tempest shattered Lady Lydia Cockfield’s heart, cutting her from his life with surgical precision—no explanation. Devastated but determined, Lydia walked away. Four months later, fate pulls them back together. Lydia is fighting to fund an orphanage for London’s most vulnerable children. Tempest, teetering on the edge of a new business venture, sees an opportunity to bolster his reputation through her cause. It’s practical. Logical. And entirely foolish. Because keeping her at arm’s length is impossible. And bringing her closer might ruin them both. But when their long-tangled destinies refuse to be ignored, the only question left is whether they’re brave enough to take the risk—on the one thing they swore they’d never have again. Each other. Originally released as The Earl of Tempest in the Wicked Earls' Shared World, Cocky Lord, although it can be read as a standalone, picks up where Cocky Soldier ends. Lord Tempest is devastated by the death of his treasonous brother, and desperately in need of a happy ending. As part of the Regency Cocky Gents series, this revamped edition delivers even more passion, drama, and intrigue. Enjoy! Step into the past and fall in love with these Regency Cocky Gents, where a group of Englands' sexiest cocksure lords lose their hearts to headstrong, intoxicating ladies who don't always follow the rules.
