About this listen
She vowed to save her brother. He swore to protect her. But neither expected to lose their hearts in the process.
Award-Winning Author, Violet Sinclair brings you the second book in her American Heiress Regency Romance Series:
A Marquess Worth the Scandal
When Lucy Livingston’s reckless younger brother lands in a perilous debt to a ruthless London lord, she knows only one thing—she will stop at nothing to save him. Even if it means sacrificing her own future. But before she can broker a desperate deal, the infuriatingly arrogant—and undeniably captivating—Marcus, Marquess of Pembrey, steps in with a shocking demand: Lucy will marry him instead.
Marcus has spent his life avoiding entanglements, but when Lucy’s stubbornness puts her in danger, he can’t stand aside. What starts as a pragmatic solution to a scandal soon turns into something far more dangerous—because resisting Lucy is impossible. She is everything he never knew he wanted… and everything he fears losing.
But Lucy refuses to be anyone’s obligation, especially not a man who offers marriage for practicality, not love. Yet as passion ignites and long-held secrets unravel, she must face the one thing more terrifying than an uncertain future: trusting her heart to the man who just might break it.
Perfect for fans of Regency romance with strong heroines, smoldering chemistry, and slow-burn love stories with swoon-worthy happily-ever-afters.
♥ A fiercely independent heroine.
♥ A brooding, protective hero.
♥ A marriage-of-convenience romance filled with passion and wit.
♥ High-stakes drama and irresistible tension.
♥ A love story that will stay with you long after the final page.
Will love conquer pride and past wounds, or will Marcus and Lucy let the greatest gamble of all slip through their fingers?
If you adore gripping Regency romance filled with sizzling chemistry and heartfelt emotion, this is a must-read!
