Unmaking the Marquess
A steamy historical romance about a spinster reforming a rake
Miss Judith Carrow is a proud spinster by choice ? sharp-tongued, independent, and wholly uninterested in scandal. For years, she's cleaned up the messes of her libertine brother and his equally depraved friend, Lucien Ashford, the Marquess of Wexhall. Judith never forgot the rake's careless smile ? or how he once looked through her as if she didn't exist.
Now Wexhall is back from exile. Ruined. Sober. And obsessed.
He appears at her lectures. Sends her stolen books. Watches her from across every ballroom. When another man dares touch her, Wexhall snaps ? and Judith realizes his reformation isn't just real... it's fixated on her.
She should turn him away. Instead, she tells him to kneel.
Their forbidden affair burns hotter than propriety allows, with Judith in command and the once-arrogant marquess begging to be used. But when their secret threatens to become public scandal, Judith must decide: will she give up her freedom to protect him?or risk everything to keep a rake on his knees?
A darkly sensual tale of power, passion, and reforming the rake ? perfect for readers who love strong heroines and forbidden historical romance with a bite.
