An Earl's Bet

HUGO CLAUDE PLAYFAIR, EARL OF HORDEN must follow the rules or bad things will happen. The only time he ever broke a rule was one night with Sir Earnest Pashley, but then Earnest camped on his front lawn for two days, making a scene. Several months later, Earnest accidentally falls asleep in Hugo’s bed after a dinner party. Hugo can’t risk a repeat, even though he really wants to break all the rules for Earnest. When Earnest bets that nothing will go wrong, he accepts the bet to prove his point (and maybe because he can’t resist Earnest) …

SIR EARNEST PASHLEY has abandonment issues thanks to be sent to an orphanage when he was ten. He falls in love (lust) easily and always makes sure he is the first to leave before the fun ends. Except once, when Lord Horden threw him out, and he disgraced himself by camping on Horden’s lawn in a dramatic gesture that went ignored. After a drunken dinner when he wakes up in Horden’s bed, by accident, he decides to get his … revenge?
This time he’ll be the one to leave first.
