A Marquess Scorned

By Adele Clee

Secrets divide them. Passion may destroy them. Love could save them both.

Gabriel Saville, Marquess of Rothley, learned long ago that love is a dangerous illusion. Betrayed by his father, abandoned by the woman he adored, and deceived by his closest friend, he has spent a decade trusting no one. Society calls him cold and unyielding, a man who bends to no will but his own. Yet what he despises above all are secrets. So why can he not resist the enigmatic Miss Woolf?

Olivia Woolf is running from her past, and danger stalks her at every step. When Rothley offers the protection of his name, their union begins as a marriage of friendship. But the more he seeks to uncover her mystery, the more captivated he becomes. And as desire flares between them, Rothley must decide if he dares risk his heart again-or lose his only chance of salvation.
