ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: The Indebted Earl
Series: Serendipity & Secrets #3
Author: Erica Vetsch
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: March 23, 2021
Genre: Christian Regency Romance
Can Captain Wyvern keep his new marriage of convenience all business--or will it turn into something more?
Captain Charles Wyvern owes a great debt to the man who saved his life--especially since Major Richardson lost his own life in the process. The best way to honor that hero's dying wish is for Wyvern to escort the man's grieving fiance and mother safely to a new cottage home by the sea. But along the way, he learns of another obligation that has fallen on his shoulders: his uncle has died and the captain is now the Earl of Rothwell.
When he and the ladies arrive at his new manor house in Devon, they discover an estate in need of a leader and a gaggle of girls, all wards of the former earl. War the new earl knows; young ladies and properties he does not. Still wishing to provide for the bereaved Lady Sophia Haverly, Charles proposes a marriage of convenience.
Sophie is surprised to find she isn't opposed to the idea. It will help her care for her betrothed's elderly mother, and she's already fallen in love with the wayward girls on the Rothwell estate. This alliance is a chance to repay the captain who has done so much for her care, as well as divert her attention from her grief. When Wyvern returns to his sea commission, she'll stay behind to oversee his property and wards.
It sounds so simple. Until the stalwart captain is arrested on suspicion of smuggling, and Sophie realizes how much he's come to mean to her. Now she'll have to learn to fight, not only for his freedom but also for his love.

EXCERPT:
Betsy, instead of cringing away as he’d
anticipated, sat up and held out her arms. “Good night, Cap’n. I hope you have
happy dreams.” They were the first words he’d heard her utter, and before he
could catalog them, her little arms went around him, and she buried her head in
his waistcoat.
Startled, Charles held his hands away
from his sides, looking to Sophie for help. What on earth was the girl doing?
Sophie made a small hugging motion, smiling, and he gradually lowered his arms
to embrace the child.
She had small bones and a warm, sweet
fragrance. Completely foreign, and yet not unpleasant. So fragile and
vulnerable.
When she turned him loose, she lay back
on the pillows, a satisfied smile on her little bow lips.
“Why’d you do that?” Thea asked her
sister, her red brows arrowing down.
Betsy shrugged. “He looked like he
needed a hug. I don’t think captains get hugged enough.”
