Lady Vivian Riddle, the second eldest of the Riddle sisters, prides herself on her perfect decorum. Since her parents’ tragic deaths, she has dedicated herself to caring for her siblings and finding a proper gentleman to marry—though none meet her high standards. But when she discovers a locket in her late mother’s jewelry box with a cryptic inscription, her ordered world begins to unravel. Devin, Lord Ashfield, is London’s most charming and elusive bachelor. Handsome, clever—and maddeningly smug—he has sworn off love after witnessing his parents’ disastrous marriage. Yet when he sees Vivian wearing a locket tied to his own family’s past, he kisses her—and steals it. Forced to work together to uncover the truth, Vivian and Devin clash at every turn, their mutual mistrust heightened by long-buried secrets. But as sparks fly and hearts soften, can they let go of the past to find a future together? The second book in The Riddle Sisters series, Lady Vivian’s Forbidden Earl is a sweet Regency romance about family secrets, forgiveness, and love’s unexpected path.
