  • Proper
  • decorum
  • has
  • never
  • come
  • easily
  • to
  • Carlotta
  • Anne
  • Fairleigh—not
  • even
  • tonight,
  • when
  • the
  • lovely,
  • impetuous
  • miss
  • is
  • finally
  • making
  • her
  • debut.
  • As
  • she
  • waits
  • to
  • make
  • her
  • entrance,
  • she
  • can't
  • help
  • wondering
  • about
  • the
  • darkened
  • house
  • next
  • door,
  • the
  • supposedly
  • abandoned
  • home
  • of
  • Hayden
  • St.
  • Clair,
  • the
  • man
  • society
  • has
  • dubbed
  • the
  • "Murderous
  • Marquess."
  • Certainly
  • one
  • small
  • peek
  • through
  • his
  • window
  • before
  • the
  • festivities
  • would
  • be
  • harmless
  • .
  • .
  • .And,
  • naturally,
  • this
  • latest
  • "adventure"
  • ends
  • in
  • disaster,
  • thoroughly
  • compromising
  • the
  • budding
  • debutante's
  • reputation
  • and
  • leaving
  • her
  • suddenly,
  • unthinkably
  • .
  • .
  • .
  • betrothed!
  • Soon
  • she's
  • en
  • route
  • to
  • the
  • wilds
  • of
  • Cornwall
  • in
  • the
  • company
  • of
  • the
  • handsome,
  • mysterious
  • marquess
  • whose
  • name
  • the
  • ton
  • whisper
  • with
  • fear
  • and
  • loathing.Yet
  • there
  • is
  • something
  • thrilling—and
  • surprisingly
  • tender—about
  • her
  • dark,
  • unreachable
  • groom,
  • and
  • the
  • desire
  • in
  • his
  • eyes
  • is
  • undeniable.
  • But
  • before
  • Lottie
  • will
  • surrender
  • to
  • the
  • yearnings
  • in
  • her
  • heart,
  • she
  • must
  • unlock
  • the
  • secrets
  • of
  • Hayden's
  • past,
  • no
  • matter
  • how
  • scandalous—or
  • perilous—they
  • may be.
