Sometimes, dealing with the man in your life just makes you want to curl up with a good book and a cuppa tea!

Cathy Maxwell can relate: in her latest novel, THE EARL CLAIMS HIS WIFE, on sale now, pride clashes with passion as the Earl of Wright attempts to reclaim a wife who he has so recklessly ignored--but now wants more than anything. (Men!)

In an online review of this fabulous new book, Romance Cafe says, "I love Cathy’s books because she has a skillful way of creating heroes and heroines who make massive mistakes, but you end up liking them anyway because they are just so human. Then, they manage to redeem themselves in all sorts of romantic and wonderful ways."

Avon Books and Cathy Maxwell are teaming up to offer readers a chance for a bit of tea, sympathy, and a great romantic read! Enter to win one of three Earl Gray/Lady Gray tea sets, accompanied by a signed copy of THE EARL CLAIMS HIS WIFE, now through October 27, at AvonBooks.com!
