Married to the Dark Marquess

(A Dark Destinations Romance)

​

New York heiress Louisa Thurston-Reid has seven days to make her marriage real.

She has traded her millions for an English peerage and married the dashing yet distant Marquess of Granborough, determined to make their match a success despite knowing almost nothing about the man she married.

For Giles, Lord Granborough, the arrangement is purely transactional. Forced to sell his hand in marriage for an American fortune, he longs to survive the honeymoon voyage and return to the childhood sweetheart who holds his affection. His plan seems foolproof—until he and Louisa embark across the Atlantic.

But sharing a bed aboard the steamship, he finds his innocent bride far more tempting than he anticipated. As they sail towards England, the boundaries between duty and desire blur, and Giles discovers that his stubborn heart is no match for a lady determined to make him hers.

A steamy marriage-of-convenience romance about the honeymoon that changes everything.
