West End Earl by Bethany Bennett
From the series guaranteed to "win the hearts of Regency fans” comes a story of secret identities, unlikely love, and forbidden romances that will warm even the coldest of hearts (Publishers Weekly).
While most young ladies attend balls and hunt for husbands, Ophelia Hardwick has spent the last ten years masquerading as a man. As the land steward for the Earl of Carlyle, she’s found safety from the uncle determined to kill her and freedoms a lady could only dream of. Ophelia’s situation would be perfect—if only she wasn’t hopelessly attracted to her employer.
Calvin, Earl of Carlyle, is determined to see his sister married this season. And he’ll do it with the help of his trusted right-hand man. But when he finds out his man is a woman, and that her life is in danger, his priorities change. Their attraction is passionate, all-consuming, and if they aren’t careful, it could turn downright deadly—for both of them.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ophelia Hardwick has spent the last ten years posing as a man. Her deceased brother Adam to be exact. It got her away from her cruel uncle. Who was ready to marry her off at twelve. With the help of the local vicar, Opelia becomes Adam and enjoys the freedom of being a man. Eventually, this leads to her working for Calvin, the Earl of Carlyle. His only focus at the moment is getting his sister married with Adam's help. If only Adam would agree to marry his sister.
When Cal is notified about Adam being attacked he rushes to his friend's side to make sure he is alright and discovers Adam's secret. They also discover that Adam's uncle is behind the attack and won't be easily stopped. So for her safety, Cal convinces Phee to move in with him. But now Cal can't help noticing how attractive Phee is and wonders why he never noticed her before.
Lots of funny moments. I did not want to put this book down. I was convinced they would be caught
I can't wait for Emma's book.
