The last thing Marcus, the Duke of Autenberry, expects to
see after sleeping off a night’s drunken shenanigans is a
woman being auctioned in the village square. Before he can
think about the ramifications, he buys her, thinking he’s
winning the girl her freedom. Instead, he discovers he’s
bought a wife.
A duke wasn’t in hers . . .
Alyse Bell is almost rid of the shackles that bound her in
a name-only marriage, but the day her friend promised to
purchase her in a wife auction, he vanishes, leaving her to
face a mob of unsavory bachelors intent on owning her body
and soul. But the appearance of a wicked, wealthy stranger
changes her path forever.
The road to ruin . . .
Marcus doesn’t know what to do with the impertinent chit
who clearly isn’t duchess material! Insisting their
marriage isn’t legitimate, they leave for his estate in
Scotland, hoping to devise a plan to get rid of each other.
However, on a journey fraught with misadventure, their
attraction grows and Marcus realizes he’ll do anything to
keep this fiery woman for his own.
This one is definitely going on the list to be read very soon. I've read just recently about wife auctions and it interested me. This marriage of inconvenience should prove fun! (Cynthia Netherton 9:20pm July 17, 2018)
