âRumor has it a certain notorious Princess has not a feather to fly and is looking for a gentleman to ease her financial worries. Perhaps the Earl of S. is the man she seeksâĶ.â
âThe Gentlemanâs Mercury, 1816
Princess Isabella never imagined it could come to this. Bad enough she faces imprisonment for debts not her own. Even worse that she must make a hasty marriage of convenience with Marcus, the Earl of Stockhavenâthe man sheâd loved and lost so long ago. But that he now wants revenge by demanding she be his in more than name onlyâĶwell, that is simply intolerable!
As the London gossips eagerly gather to watch the fun, Isabella struggles to maintain a polite distance in her marriage. But the more Isabella challenges Marcusâs iron determination, the hotter their passion burns. This time, will it consume them bothâor fuel a love greater than they dare dream?
