by Wendy Soliman

"When Marcus Rothwell, Earl of Broadstairs, is forced to spend the night alone with Harriet Aston he willingly does the honourable thing. Harriet, not content with a marriage of convenience, determines to engage Marc's affections but before she can put her plan into action she is brutally attacked." "Suspicion falls upon the dowager countess, who does not approve of Marc's choice of bride, but there is also the village beadle's unaccountable behaviour to be considered. And what about Marc's Machiavellian steward?" "Determined to protect Harriet, Marc delves deeper into the mystery surrounding her attack. Now he must examine his feelings for the woman he married on a whim. But he too is in mortal danger."--BOOK JACKET.
