Description
A lady's desperate choice When the loathsome Lord Bascomb tries to force her into marriage, Elizabeth Woolcot must appeal to her influential guardian. Nicholas Warring, known as the Wicked Earl, is a darkly handsome charismatic figure--with the power to save Elizabeth but a past that could put her reputation dangerously at risk. A ruthless womanizer, he has also been convicted of murder -- and barely escaped hanging. A rogue's tainted honor Elizabeth can't help her attraction to the man who show more haunts her dreams -- nor he his hunger for her. But she knows it can never be. For Nicholas is a married man -- or at least appears to be. Then a heinous crime shatters their lives -- and Nick is the natural suspect. Elizabeth wants to believe in his innocence more than life and love itself -- but can she trust a man who has killed before? show lessTags

so, apparently I've read this before? C says that is DISGRACEFUL but I point out how many books I've read just this year, compared to her total (8, love) and also: the cover is different on this copy!!
Umm. I think. (edit: apparently not. oops.)
Anyway, it's pretty good. And I bought it for 47c.
And ... the song playing on iTunes right now is Candyman:
"he had tattoos up and down his arm
there's nothing more dangerous than a boy with charm
he's a one-stop shop, makes the panties drop
he's a sweet-talking sugar-coated candyman
(say what?)
he's a one-stop shop with the real big mmmm"
Aww, shit. Now I'll never get these two things separate.
"good things come for boys who WAIT"
