Mayhem and the Marquess
by Win Hollows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Historical Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Daughter
of an infamous murderer, Ivy Wollard now wields knives instead of needlepoint
to survive in a society where no one wants her. When the Marquess of
Blackbourne comes along and ruins her chance at a better life, she decides
she’d rather have her toes eaten by eels than agree to his proposed scheme.
There’s no way her surrender has anything to do with the mesmerizing angle of
his jawline or the wicked twinkle in his eyes.
But
Asher Blackbourne has a secret. He knows it’s just a matter of time until he
goes mad and loses his illustrious title, so when Ivy falls into his path, he
realizes he could use her to keep his house of cards from falling down. If
every illicit touch between them doesn’t drive him mad first, that is.
Yet
Ivy cannot escape her grisly legacy and the dark desires of her father’s
admirers. What if violence runs through her veins, and no one who gets close is
safe? Mayhem will descend as this rake finally falls for the enigmatic woman
who might be just his brand of poison…Er, cure, of course.

EXCERPT ONE:
“That
was my favorite pen,” Blackbourne remarked in a low tone, looking at the broken
quill and ink flooding the polished wood surface of his desk and nearby papers.
He rose suddenly from his chair, forcing Ivy to back away a step until her
derriere came up against the edge of the desk.
She
gasped as his full height loomed over her. Her hands grabbed the edge of the
desk as his legs pressed into her skirts.
Perhaps
she had gone a bit too far.
“I
liked that pen,” he purred, his hand coming up to stroke her face.
She
gulped. “I like my privacy.”
“Are
you going to replace my pen?”
“Are
you going to un-read my letters?” she replied, trying not to stare at the way
his lips moved as he spoke in the smoky voice that strummed along her nerves
like a cello’s bow.
He
let out a bark of laughter. “Perhaps it’s too late to stop for either one of
us,” he said, and Ivy knew he spoke of things other than pen and paper.
“It’s
been too late for a long time,” she breathed, the fabric of her dress chafing
the puckered tips of her breasts as his chest came up against hers.
His
eyes flashed as he pressed her further backwards, hands positioned flat on the
desk on either side of where he had her trapped. “I’m going to ruin your dress
now.”
Ivy
sucked in a breath as he lifted her onto the desk, ink smearing over her skirts
and the palms of her hands. She didn’t mind that outcome one bit…
