question that labeled him The Murdering Marquess: was his
wife’s death a tragic accident or a cold-blooded crime? He’s

notorious lord of the manor irresistibly close. If there is
any truth to his tarnished past, she should denounce him
with her powerful pen. Yet love has a way of revealing a
man’s true character . . .
