Harriet Tangles With the Earl — April Kihlstrom

Harriet Harlowe must find a way to survive after her husband dies leaving her without a means of support in Regency England. She bands together with two other widows, equally penniless, to begin a rather unorthodox enterprise. The Earl of Darrowfield is determined to stop his cousin's widow from ruining the family reputation. Neither is willing to give an inch and tangle repeatedly. Ultimately, they must join forces against an enemy determined to make Harriet his mistress and destroy the Earl of Darrowfield--as well as everything and everyone he values. Together they discover love, laughter, adventure and that their differences matter far less than the happiness they could create together. This is Book 1 of the Wayward Widows series.
