She wanted the world. He wanted only her.
When Lady Anna Carrington first met the Marquess of Beaufort, she thought him nothing more than another one of her brother's incorrigible, reckless friends. A rake of the first water, Sebastian was the last man on earth Anna would choose for a husband.
So, imagine her surprise when a meaningless kiss they shared last summer unexpectedly becomes the talk of the beau monde! Before the ink dries on the broadsheets, she has a ring on her finger and is, quite suddenly, Sebastian's marchioness.
Torn by a past full of demons, bound by an inescapable future, Anna and Sebastian find themselves facing not only their marriage of convenience, but a plethora of unanticipated events. Truth shall become lies. Lies shall become truth. And two souls who once looked upon each other with disdain will learn that life is not always as it seems-and people are never always who we imagine them to be.
Will their scandalous past tear them apart?
Or will time, circumstance, and undeniable passion open their hearts to the possibility of love?
