The âfallenâ ladies of Puddledon Manorâs Benevolent Home are determined to rise above scandalâand forge a sparkling new future operating their own brewery and alehouse⦠With Christmas around the corner, Miss Caroline Anderson hoped to persuade a London tavern owner to carry the Homeâs Widowâs Brewâonly to discover the dastard was more interested in her ankles than her ale! To her further annoyance, her stagecoach back to Little Puddledon is waylaid by louts and a snow-covered ditch. Amid a nasty storm, Caro seeks shelter at a nearby estateâonly to be greeted by Viscount Oakland, aka Nick, her brotherâs childhood friendâand her schoolgirl crush. Now heâs the half-dressed host of what is clearly a holiday bacchanal. Still, his house is irresistibly warm⦠Ever the free spirit, Nick has invited the wilder gentlemen of the ton, and an assortment of Londonâs lightskirts, to celebrate Christmas in a more traditional, pagan fashion. So heâs surprised to find Caro at his door. Now, with a blizzard raging, he must take her inâdespite his fear she wonât take to his guests, and worse, upend his party. But she may surprise himâand upend his life⦠Praise for What Ales the Earl âA pure delight.â âNew York Times bestselling author Betina Krahn âA fun, heartwarming Regency romance elevated by witty dialogue and a unique concept.â âKirkus Reviews âEntertaining, earthy ⦠readers will look forward to more stories about the women of the Benevolent Home.â âBooklist
