About this ebook

After being abandoned by her almost-betrothed, Caroline Nash vows to never again get involved with a man. Especially not the middle-aged earl her father has chosen for her. The man is a pompous ass and one of Prinny’s set who only wants her for her dowry. To complicate matters, a kiss from the Midnight Marauder unleashes an unbelievable passion that Caroline can’t seem to forget.

Stephan, the Marquis of Kendrick, poses as the robbing marauder to avenge his low-born mother. But he starts questioning his plans when one of his “missions” crosses paths with Caroline and leads to the kiss of a lifetime. Stephan senses that this proper miss is more fiery than he expected and he wants more.

To be properly introduced to the woman of his dreams, he attends the Prince Regent’s house party. He finds her, begging a friend to pretend to court her – to fend off the man her father has chosen. Stephan couldn’t wish for a better opportunity – he’ll happily court her, but he doesn’t want to pretend. Their connection is sizzling, but can this charade become something real once Stephan’s secrets are revealed?

Ratings and reviews

Caroline Nash was determined to stay away from men, but if her father had his wish she will marry the dispicable older earl he has chosen for her. As often the case he only wants her dowry. Desperate she begins to beg a friend to pretend to be interested in her. But as Stephan, the Marquess of Kendrick overhears, he steps in to take the role which will hopefully turn real! A wonderful story of hidden secrets that could come to life and ruin Stephen's chance and of love when least expected. Truly enjoyed this story so much and would highly recommend!

A well written page turning novel with, pirating, highwaymen, a yacht race & of course romance. Stephan has always been attracted to Caroline but after stealing a kiss he’s totally smitten. Caroline is likewise smitten but with the Midnight Marauder however the more she comes to know Stephan the lines between the Marquis & his alter ego are blurred. The characters have depth & on the whole are likeable, I thoroughly disliked Tisdale. I thoroughly enjoyed the book but was left wanting more as whilst one villain was arrested there are still more at large, I hope everything will be resolved in the final book of the trilogy. I also found the ending to be rushed, the lead up had been very good then in a couple of pages it was over & done with My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Loved it! So happy Caroline finally got her happy ending.
