Saving the Marquess: Scandal Binds Them. Passion May Destroy Them. (Rogues Worth Saving Book 1) Kindle Edition

Alexandra Brown has always lived by her principles—but principles can’t feed a starving family or protect a reputation teetering on the edge. Thrust from Cambridge’s lamplit libraries to the forbidding halls of Lullingstone Castle, Alexi finds herself toe-to-toe with the infamous Marquess of Salisbury, a man whose seductive cruelty shattered her innocence years before. Now his governess and the reluctant guardian of his illegitimate offspring, she refuses to be a pawn in society’s cruel games or his powerful hands. Yet every encounter with the marquess sparks a fury she cannot quell—and an attraction she cannot escape. When scandal threatens to destroy all she holds dear, Alexi must decide: will she risk her heart again to save those she loves?Arthur Redesdale, Marquess of Salisbury, has spent his life mistrusting love and mastering every dark art of survival his father taught him—never show weakness, never trust, and above all, never fall. Alexandra Brown’s return into his world cracks every wall he’s built: her fire exposes his secrets, her honesty shames his cynicism, and her beauty torments him with desire and regret. But when betrayal, jealousy, and political intrigue threaten his career and reputation, Arthur faces his greatest challenge yet. If he cannot earn Alexi’s forgiveness, he may lose the only woman who can redeem him—but is it already too late?When truths are weaponized and society’s judgment turns deadly, can Alexi and Arthur put aside pride and past injuries, or will their enemies succeed in tearing them apart forever?Enemies to loversMarriage of convenienceForced proximityRake redemptionGoverness and noblemanOne bed Read more
