The Marquis and I
by Ella Quinn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Historical Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Trouble
is no match for a lady of the extended Worthington family—except when it comes
in the form of a most irresistible gentleman…
Lady
Charlotte Carpenter’s brother-in-law has put an infamous brothel owner out of
business—yet it is Charlotte who suffers the consequences. Abducted by thugs
and held at an inn, she is plotting her escape when she’s suddenly rescued by a
dashing gentleman. Only afterward does she realize she’s seen him before—with
two courtesans! Unwilling to tarry with such a man, Charlotte makes her second
escape. But it is too late to repair her reputation…
A
known gossip has spied Charlotte’s movements, and his report is speeding
through the rumor mill. Soon, everyone knows that Charlotte spent the night
with Constantine, Marquis of Kenilworth. And everyone agrees the only answer is
marriage—including Constantine himself, his overjoyed mother—and his mistress!
But Charlotte’s abductors aren’t finished with her yet. Now Constantine will do
anything to protect the spirited woman he loves and win her heart…

EXCERPT TWO:
Wife?
Wed? No, no, no! Being betrothed was bad enough. But she could get out of that.
But married! Lord Kenilworth was the last man in the world she would wed. Just
the idea that he would touch her with the same hands he used to mistreat other
women made her stomach lurch.
Charlotte
quickly shoved the memory of his kiss aside. If she had known who he was, she
would never have kissed him.
Taking
a deep breath, she said with as firm a voice as she could muster, “Despite what
his lordship said, I do not wish to marry him. There must be a way to—”
“That
is neither here nor there, my dear.” Lady Bellamny waved away Charlotte’s
complaint in a voice so composed it made her want to slaughter someone.
Preferably Lord Kenilworth. “I stopped by Stanwood House to inform your sister
I intended to be out of Town for a few days. Instead, I found your cousin Jane,
Mrs. Addison. Knowing that I am a trustworthy friend of the family, she told me
what had occurred. Unless I am mistaken, you were with Lord Kenilworth at least
overnight, and you were seen entering the inn with him.” She raised a brow. “In
a rather disheveled state.”
Charlotte
decided to ignore her creased, dusty gown, and address the most important
issue. “I did not exactly spend the night with him.” Not all night and,
technically, she had entered the inn first. “He followed me into the inn. I—”
“Close
enough, my lady.” His tone was as dry as sand. “We were seen together walking
toward this place, and I held the door open for you.”
