Joan Wolf is pretty much the only romance author I read faithfully - no matter what era, location, or style, I just enjoy all of her books. BUT, my favorites among her books are all from the time a long time ago when she was writing Regency romances. She has recently gone back to the Regency period and (I think) self-pubbed a new title or two, one of which is
The American Earl. But, I've wasn't able to tell any difference in quality between this one and her older Signet published Regencies - I enjoyed it just as much. It has recently dropped to $0.99 at Kindle US, no idea why or for how long.

Quote:
A New Joan Wolf Regency Romance!
When the Earl of Althorpe dies his daughter Julia is horrified to learn that the new earl is an American. Her father has left their estate, Stoverton, burdened with enormous debt and the only good news about the new earl is that he’s a millionaire. Julia’s hope is that he will bail the estate out and go back home to America, leaving her to run Stoverton, as she always has.
Evan Marshall, the new earl, has no use for the British and certainly does not want to be an English earl. However, he finds not only has he inherited enormous debts, but he is now the guardian of two girls – Julia and her younger sister Maria.
On the advice of his aunt, he agrees to give Julia a London Season so she can catch a husband and take care of Maria. Then he’ll be able to go home to America, where he belongs.
Nothing goes according to either of these very determined people’s plans.
