Description
Judson Jarvis, Marquess of Huntsberry, was raised by his uncle, who brutally punished Judson in order to toughen the orphaned weakling. As he grew in size, Judson retaliated against all the boys at school who had bullied him, until everyone became frightened of him. Now, Judson is angry, bored, and entirely friendless. Lady Lucilla Alington is thoughtful and nurturing making her come-out this Season, but her family worries that the wrong men will be attracted to her innocent charm and large dowry. When two rakehells decide to ruin the naïve young lady, Judson rashly intervenes, chasing away the men who would have ruined her reputation, and capturing her delicate lips with a fervent kiss. His impulsive action, meant to save her from ruination, sets off a chain reaction of unforeseen consequences. Now bound together in a marriage of convenience, Judson and Lucy must navigate their way through the marriage forced upon them.--
