Book description

THE MADDENING MARQUESS

Gavin Remington Colporter, the Marquess of Hawkstone, known to intimates simply as Hawk, had swept Lady Mollie Hazeldell off her pedestal as belle of the London season to make her his bride.

He then promptly abandone her to go off to the wars, leaving her alone and infuriated.

Now it was four years later. Hawk was returning to the life and the wife he had so cavalierly left behind. But Mollie was no longer a trembling young girl. She was a woman who would let no man treat her as a plaything to be used and set aside at whim. And she was willing to fight to defend her pride – even if it meant struggling against the smiling strength of the masterful marquess and the even more daunting power of love itself . . .
