A man with nothing to lose, and a woman with everything to gain - and neither trusts the other an inch…

Count Anthony of Stratham almost drowned, and that's the second worst thing that happened to him this week.

Now dragged into a courtroom battle with the owner of the ship that sank, the twenty-eight-year-old Count seizes his chance for a better life - by blackmailing his adversary's daughter.

All it takes is one invitation; all it takes is one night of passion.

But Nerissa isn't ready to be ruined, by the devilishly handsome Count or anyone else, and she has more than enough tricks up her sleeve to take on the bankrupt lord.

Will Count Anthony stick to his resolve to ruin and blackmail his archenemies daughter? Or will Nerissa discover that there is more than one way to survive a catastrophe with a Count?

This is the seventh in a series of nine Ravishing Regencies.

This is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and part of a series that can be read in any order.

Catastrophe with a Count is book seven in the Ravishing Regencies series by Emily Murdoch. Catastrophe with a Count can easily be read as a stand alone, although a few characters from the other books make very brief appearances in this story. I enjoyed this tale but did find myself wishing for more development between the hero Anthony Count of Stratham and Nerissa Farichild. In some ways it reminded me too much of Marooned with a Marquis book four in this series. However, Murdoch is a talented writer. She infuses humor into her stories as well as some delightful steam, and she never fails to entertain me.
