Dangerous Marquis

The young Euphemia Marlington, daughter of the influential Duke of Carlisle, was kidnapped by corsairs. For seventeen long years, the girl lived as a powerless slave in the harem of a cruel sultan. Only after his death was she able... to return to England. But her homeland does not welcome the beauty warmly: society gossips eagerly spread dirty rumors, and her own father dreams of marrying Mia off to literally the first man he meets.
 
Adam de Courtenay, Marquis of Exley — a mocking and arrogant aristocrat. He despises high society, which in retaliation suspects Adam of murdering two wives. However, Mia is drawn to the mysterious handsome man like a magnet. Will she meet a similar fate? Or will the accusations prove unfounded, and the intellect, will, and beauty of the former slave finally melt the heart of the dangerous marquis?
