  The Marquis of Kexley seems to have everything a girl could want – wealth, good looks, intelligence, athletic prowess – and a title. The only thing he doesn’t possess is respect for the legion of women who throw themselves at him, desperate to claim some of his attention. He firmly believes that the woman that could love him forever, and whom he could love in return simply does not exist.
  Plagued by debutantes with ambitious mothers who have their eyes firmly set on all that he has to offer, the Marquis becomes renowned for his relationships with bored society wives. But this time is seems that he has sorely misjudged the situation and he is horrified when glamorous widow, Isobel Heywood his current affaires-de-coeur, softly suggests that they should be married.
  With marriage the last thing on his mind, and cursing himself for getting involved with a woman free to marry, he evades her question by pretending to sleep whilst plotting to escape as quickly as possible.
  With his prized yacht at his disposal the Marquis beats a hasty retreat from London and makes for Scotland to stay with the Earl of Darendell, and enjoy the salmon fishing on the Earl’s large country estate. But it seems that the Marquis cannot escape his past no matter how far he runs. Within hours of arriving a surprise member of the household threatens to ruin him, and the daughter of the house, Celina, with her ruthless plotting.
  Once more on the run, and offering the beautiful Celina his protection, the Marquis seeks sanctuary in the tranquility of the Orkney Islands. With danger at every turn, together, they set out an adventure that neither will ever forget.

  At the end of the day the Earl came to Selena. “It’s a huge success – and it’s all due to you!” She looked up at him and her heart was full of love. Would he ever take her in his arms and tell her she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen? “You’ve made it possible for my work to continue,” he went on, his eyes afire. Selena took a deep breath. She had been mulling over various ideas as the flow of arrivals slowed towards the end of the afternoon. “I am wondering, Alex, if there could be other ways we could make the visitors pay?” He sat himself on the desk beside her cash box. “Your ideas are always brilliant, Selena, so tell me what you’ve dreamed up now?” The Earl’s nearness and the warmth in his manner encouraged her. “I think we could offer the visitors something to eat during the luncheon period, plus tea in the afternoon. And then perhaps you could write a short book about Wakefield and your ancestors that could be printed, like the leaflets, only this would be substantial enough to sell.” He looked right into her eyes with such admiration that she found her stomach somersaulting.

  Within the spectacular mediaeval ramparts of Lucca, Paola accomplishes her mission, falls in love with the beautiful town – and then, after a terrifying ordeal at the hands of murderous thugs, with its most prominent citizen as well!
