Everyone thought that the Marquess of Landon was lost at sea. Instead, Robert Kirkian defied all the odds and survived. Now he’s returned to London to reclaim his title, his property, and his lands from the foul snake who tried to have him killed: his own cousin. But proper vengeance requires patience—and the perfect weapon. Which is precisely when Robert meets his cousin’s charmingly spirited betrothed…
Miss Phoebe Dawson is everything an ambitious gentleman could desire in a wife. Wealthy, exceedingly lovely, and with a sparkle in her blue eyes that could entice even the most reluctant suitor. But Phoebe’s come too close to ruin—the humiliation of it!—to be fooled by yet another handsome face and silken words . But oh, how he makes her feel. So flustered, so flushed…and so thrillingly alive.
Phoebe knows that love is a fool’s game, even if the Marquess does play his hand like an expert. Her reputation can nary afford the tiniest spark of scandal, let alone those slow, deep kisses that leave her breathless. But she’s about to discover the only thing more dangerous than a rogue is a wronged man hellbent on revenge…

My Review: Miss Phoebe Dawson knows better than to fall for a rake’s charms. She assumes she never will again by securing a passionless match with Lord Willard. Her world is shaken up when the Marquess of Landon shows her that her life doesn’t have to be without passion. Little does she know, he has his own motives for approaching her.
This was a great historical romance book! The relationship was sweet and fraught with tension. Sometimes, historical romance storylines are all the man doing exciting things while the woman waits to see him again. I liked that Phoebe and Robert each had other things they were doing besides thinking about each other. It was easy to understand with little title and court dynamics in it. I would recommend this book to those new to the historical romance genre.
