The Marquess And The Maiden

Harriet Wheatley is the mastermind behind the Ladies of Virtue's quest to rehabilitate the gentlemen of the ton. So when it comes to selecting her own target, she knows who to choose: Oliver Weeks, Marquess of Davenport—the most extravagant, handsome wastrel in all of London. Known for his opulent lifestyle, Oliver isn't surprised by Harriet's confrontation. It's obvious Harriet longs for any way to take him down a notch. She says she'll help him find a bride, but he knows it's only because it gives her the excuse to chastise his indulgent ways. Little does she know that he’s already picked a wife—her! The hard-headed, fiery Harriet is the only woman Oliver wants, but convincing the lady won’t be easy. Each book in the Lords of Vice series is STANDALONE: * The Scoundrel and the Lady * The Marquess and the Maiden * The Earl and the Reluctant Lady

Eric Fielding, the Marquess of Thorgraham, is shipwrecked upon the shores of Norway during a violent storm and brought back a thousand years in time.

His kindness soothes the wounded scars of her past, awakening her to a passion she has never known. But when an enemy from Katarina’s past threatens to kill everyone she loves, Eric must cast off the civilized rules of his upbringing and fight for her…or lose everything. **This book was originally titled A Maiden for the Marquess**
