The dark stranger

by Isabelle Patrick

Spirited Nicola Wynstan considers love dangerous -- and spinsterhood a freer state than matrimony. She is, however, intrigued by the village tattle about the "libertine, and wickedly handsome" new Marquis of Cranbourne. But when the Marquis interrupts her morning ride to order her off his land, she gives him a fiery retort -- only to be answered with a kiss. Can he tame her?
