About this ebook

In this battle of wills, matrimony just might be the deadliest game of all.

Sinclair, Marquess of Dunkeld, is determined to discover who’s behind the recent unrest in Scotland. But when he’s caught alone with an unmarried woman, a hasty marriage threatens his mission. While his new wife is everything a gentleman spy should want—amiable, practical, and discreet—she also proves a heady distraction., arousing primal instincts he long since buried.

The daughter of a man of science, Winnifred is practiced in the arts of logic … and deception. But her dispassionate exterior hides a dark secret, one she must guard at all costs. As her new husband draws her into a world of raging passions, the tempest gathering within might be the one thing she can’t control.

But when an enemy threatens, Sin and Winnifred will need to trust each other, and themselves, if they want to survive the honeymoon. Can they lose their hearts without losing their lives?

+++Marked by the Marquess contains steamy sex scenes of a primal nature. Don’t read it unless you like your romances HOT!+++

Ratings and reviews

4.25 Stars Sinclair, Marquis of Dunkeld, is determined to discover who’s behind the recent unrest in Scotland. But when he’s caught alone in a cellar with an unmarried woman, a hasty marriage threatens his mission. The daughter of a botanist, Winnifred is practiced in the arts of logic but she does hide some secrets. Maintaining her façade in her wild and treacherous new home is trial enough, but the storm of emotions Sinclair awakens in her might be the one thing she can’t control. This is the fourth book in the series & it could easily be read on its own. It does feature the characters from the earlier books & also Summerset the only remaining bachelor & I can’t wait for him to meet his match. Sin & Winnifred are so well matched both in & out of the bedroom, I loved how their relationship grew & deepened. The book does contain a few sizzling scenes but these are part & parcel of the relationship & illustrates how Winnifred grows & gains confidence & her self esteem. The pace of the book was very good & I was drawn in from the beginning & enthralled until the last page. A story of spies, treason & of course romance – I loved it My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Great read, great characters, fast moving plot. I took any time I could sneak from the day to read another chapter.

A really enjoyable read

About the author

Like almost one-third of all romance writers, Alyson Chase is a former attorney. (Seriously, what is with all of us disillusioned lawyers?) She happily ditched those suits and now works in her pajamas writing about men’s briefs instead of legal briefs. When she’s not writing, she’s probably engaged in one of her favorite hobbies: napping, eating, or martial arts (That last one almost makes up for the first two, right?)  She also writes humorous, small-town, contemporary romance novels under the name Allyson Charles.
