Of all the things she did not want to do, marrying the duke was top of her list.

Lady Estella Linton, daughter of the Duke of Andover, is a strong young woman with a keen wit and a passionate heart. All that makes her both a delightful person, and the worst possible companion for Arthur Mace, the Duke of Mallton. Pugnacious and opinionated, he is her polar-opposite. However, she feels obliged to observe her parents' agreement with his and wed.


That is, until a surprise encounter brings a dashing, handsome stranger into her life. Ethan Calhoun, the Marquess of Aston is tall, handsome, and rather hot-headed. As Estella gets to know him better, she is swept up into his world. Love and duty seem forever opposed in her life. 


For Lord Aston is not unacquainted with the Duke of Mallton, and he suspects him of something worse than simple boorishness – but is he right? And, despite this, will it be enough to break the duty Estella owes him, and admit her the freedom to follow her own heart?

A forbidden love. An odious marriage. An adventurous heart. The Forbidden Marquess is a tale of intrigue, glamor and the intense power of love, set against the glittering backdrop of Regency London. Sweet Regency Romance Novel. No Cliffhanger.
