As the youngest son of a duke, Michael Hepburn has the
freedom to choose his own path in life. Michael's fate led
him to war, devastation, secrets and lies; even though the
battles are now over, the war is still being fought behind
the scenes. Michael never expects to have family
responsibilities, but with the sudden and tragic death of
his older brother, everything changes. Michael inherits the
title Marquess of Longhaven and with that comes land, a
future dukedom and his brother's fiancée, Julianne Sutton.
Michael's parents have asked him to honor the betrothal to
Julianne, whom his brother adored for years. Michael is
unable to refuse his parents, so out of duty, he agrees to
marry the beautiful Julianne. The whole situation of
sharing is new to Michael; he is having a difficult time
figuring out how to keep his secrets.
Julianne Sutton's betrothal to Harry Hepburn, the Marquess
of Longhaven, began at her birth, giving her time to know
and care for him. Unfortunately, fate unexpectedly takes
Harry from them all. Julianne's betrothal is to the
Marquess of Longhaven, so it is not unusual for her to be
expected to marry the younger brother. Julianne was
familiar with Harry, but Michael is a virtual stranger
who's been in Spain fighting a war these past years. Her
soon-to-be husband has made no effort of getting to know
her, yet Julianne will do her duty and marry Michael
Hepburn. Desperate to make a go of her marriage, Julianne
is hoping to figure out her husband and his secrets, while
still keeping a few of her own.
The 3rd book in the Notorious Bachelor series is
breathtaking and passionate with mystery and intrigue on
every page. An absolutely delightful series!
Some Secrets Can Be Shared Only Behind Closed Doors.
The art of deception didn't baffle Michael Hepburn, but
innocence did. His new wife was trusting, lovely, and, to
his amazement, utterly bewitching.
Julianne Sutton had always known she would wed the Marquess
of Longhaven, as arranged by both families years earlier.
She'd assumed, however, that it would be the affable ducal
heir Harry who died unexpectedly and Michael took his place
as the new marquess, more than just her plans for her
marriage were altered.
Michael battled a ruthless enemy in a game of espionage and
deceit, but when he discovered that his new wife might have
secrets of her own, he quickly learned that love had an
entirely different set of rules...
