Proper decorum has never come easily to Carlotta Anne
Fairleigh -- not even tonight, when the lovely, impetuous
miss is finally making her debut. As she waits to make her
entrance, she can't help wondering about the darkened
house next door, the supposedly abandoned home of Hayden
St. Clair, the man society has dubbed the "Murderous
Marquess." Certainly one small peek through his window
before the festivities would be harmless ...
And,
naturally, this latest "adventure" ends in disaster,
thoroughly compromising the budding debutante's reputation
and leaving her suddenly, unthinkably ... betrothed! Soon
she's en route to the wilds of Cornwall in the company of
the handsome, mysterious marquess whose name the
ton whisper with fear and loathing.
Yet there
is something thrilling -- and surprisingly tender -- about
her dark, unreachable groom, and the desire in his eyes is
undeniable. But before Lottie will surrender to the
yearnings in her heart, she must unlock the secrets of
Hayden's past, no matter how scandalous -- or perilous --
they may be.
