Description

A proper widow. A rakish marquess. He rescued her from thieves, but will she be able to save him from himself?

When Violet Laurens is rescued from highwaymen, the furthest thing from her mind is that her heart might tumble next. She loves her independent life, no matter her lonely bed. The handsome stranger reawakens the passion she thought buried along with her husband, pushing her to new heights of desire. But she knows it’s only a matter of time before he remembers his name and leaves her.

The dissolute Marquess of Kittrick has vowed never to marry, causing a rift in his family that sets him on the road just in time to do battle with ruffians intent on stealing a lady’s coins—and more. Discovering the fiery wanton beneath the widow’s oh-so-proper demeanor makes him want nothing more than to forget who he is for just a bit longer. Maybe forever.

When Kit is forced to acknowledge who he is, will the truth trump their shared passion, and the love they can’t quite admit to? Or will Violet overcome her fear—and Kit his dissolute ways--and be able to lay claim to A Marquess for Christmas?

Advance Praise

“I was wary of this novella but found it amusing, sexy, and very refreshingly different.…this writer manages to create well-developed characters in a hot, hot relationship in an exciting story line that made me think about more than the well written sex.” –Fangs, Wands & Fairy Dust

“There are too many pluses to the story…1. Great secondary characters, Bella and Freddy (Kit’s sister and brother-in-law). 2. A believable relationship between the hero and heroine. 3. The relationship between Kit and Bella. These siblings are quite a pair! 4. A hero that gives as good as he takes. (And yeah, that involves the smokin’ hot sex scenes).” –A Chick Who Reads

“5 stars: Such delightful humor and enticing imagination.” – Erzabet’s Enchantments

“If this was a paperback it would have needed to come with its own fire extinguisher – the sex scenes are hot (scorching).” – Urban Girl Reader
