The Hazards of Courtship

Delicious wit and charm abound in this new historical romance in which an English aristocrat returns from exile after the Napoleonic Wars to face a daring new mission of a different sort: finding a suitable wife.

After years spent captive in a French fortress, Captain Quentin Scovell returns to London, only to find himself the new Marquess of Glencraig after his brother’s death. Guarded and blunt, Quentin needs help adapting to society and wooing a marriage-worthy woman—preferably one who won’t recoil from his scars. Lady Chloe Leighton, his best friend’s enigmatic sister, entices him, but is surely too elegant and refined to be suitable.

Practical, with a strong sense of fairness, Chloe is determined to repay Quentin after he settled her mother’s gambling loss a year ago. A deal is struck—she will give Quentin courtship lessons to polish his many rough edges so he can find a wife. The marquess is reserved and commanding, with a history he’s unwilling to share. But then, Chloe has secrets, too. As each begins to see beneath the surface, a dangerous person from the past threatens their future, their arrangement becomes more complicated and heated, and may prove the surprising answer to all their deepest desires . . .
