The Naked Countess by Rachel E Rice

When the Earl of Tyrone, Colum O'Neal, meets the low born girl, Elizabeth, on his way to his castle, little did he realize that his love for her would thrust him into a competition for her hand in marriage with his friend, the Earl of Castlehaven, Edward McHugh.
Because of Colum's ridged stance on tradition and marriage, he loses Elizabeth to Edward. Will Colum risk his inheritance, his friendship, and everything in life to rescue Elizabeth from Edward?
