Book excerpt: A nobleman marries a woman to protect her from scandal and falls in love with his convenient wife in this Regency romance. The Earl of Rutherford was used to flirting with scandal. But when an act of charity placed his charge’s spotless reputation in jeopardy, Marcus knew he must do the honorable thing. There was no point in pretending he was in love. So in return for Miss Marguerite Fellowes’s discretion, and for providing him with an heir, the earl offered his name and protection. Then Marcus watched as proud Meg blossomed in London society. Meg’s smile was perhaps the loveliest he’d ever seen, and the glow in her eyes made him feel wildly out of control. Tantalized by her evident passion for life, the dutiful rake soon found himself consumed by far from innocent desires. . . . “Rolls pens a story . . . with poignancy and sensuality.” —Romantic Times
