The friendship of four young ladies has created an indestructible bond to protect one another from the perils of love and marriage . . .
After the demise of her friend's disastrous marriage, Mercedes Parsons isn't about to let the widowed Wallflower of West Lane, Lady Aurora Radcliff, undertake another perilous trip to the altar. At least, not before the bridegroom-to-be is thoroughly investigated. If only Mercy could stop her uncharacteristic daydreaming about Wesley Renshaw's charm, his intellect, his dashing good looks. After all, the earl has already set his sights on her best friend! She must keep her wits about her and avoid giving into temptation.
Wesley is both irritated and intrigued by the machinations of Mercy-He cannot let her cleverness and beauty distract him. He needs to marry her friend, Aurora, so he can reclaim his family's ancestral home. A wrong he has hoped to right his entire life. Besides, who is penniless spinster Mercedes Parsons to decide whom he can and cannot marry? Yet while he admires her unwavering loyalty to her friends, he decides it's high time the misguided woman had a dose of her own medicine. Two can play at this spying game. But they are both embarked on a dangerous charade. And it won't be merely Mercy's reputation at risk-or her heart on the line-as Wesley comes to the inescapable conclusion that he has found the right woman at exactly the wrong time.
Capturing the Earl is book three in the Wallflowers of West Lane series by A. S. Fenichel. These stories revolve around the lives of four women who have been close friends since their school days. This book is about Mercedes Heath, referred to as Mercy. She finds herself longing for a man she can never have and envious of one of her best friends. Wesley Renshaw must marry one of Mercy’s friends to reclaim lost property. But what happens when he finds himself drawn to Mercy instead of the right Wallflower? I enjoyed the book. I thought there were just enough twists and turns in the plot to keep the pace interesting. There are several steamy scenes. Overall I liked Mercy’s character. I found her lack of self-esteem annoying at times. Not my favorite book in the series, but still very well written.
