The Marquess's Final Fling

The Marquess of Tain has always followed every social rule. Obeyed his father. Remained faithful to his two departed wives. Been a devoted father. An expert steward of his lands and investments. But this Christmas, he’ll throw convention to the wind. He’ll seize the chance of his lifetime—and invite himself to a house party where he will woo and wed the only woman he has ever loved. No matter the cost.

Lady Penelope Goddard has always followed every social convention. Married her first husband, because her father ordered it. Married her second—and her third—because they were…well…charming. And she had no skills to make a living for herself. This Christmas, when she attends her cousin’s house party, she is shocked to find her long lost love there. He’s seductive, intent on kissing her senseless. She chuckles when they’re discovered in the ladies’ retiring room, and the library, and the stairwell. But will she marry him? When she knows she can never give him the one gift which she never was capable of giving her three husbands. And which she cannot give him.
