Loving a Beast of a Marquess by Harriet Caves

“You shouldn’t dare love someone like me…”

No one could ever suspect that Lady Evangeline, one of the most eligible ladies of the season, carries a woeful burden. And even though concealing a Duke’s death is inexcusable, it is preferable to falling in his terrible heir’s hands.
Zachary Ranson, the Marquess of Harley, is accustomed to being feared by men and women alike. Rumored to have killed his own father, each step he takes is a painful reminder that he is a monster unworthy of peace and love.
Desperate to make just any match before her secret is out, Evangeline is at her wit’s end when the abhorrent Marquess refuses to leave her house until the Duke shows up. But placing herself against his beastly temper might cost her a lot more than she had imagined…

*If you like a realistic yet steamy depiction of the Regency and Victorian era, then Loving a Beast of a Marquess is the novel for you.
