“Proper decorum has never come easily to Carlotta Anne Fairleigh—not even tonight, when the lovely, impetuous miss is finally making her debut. As she waits to make her entrance, she can’t help wondering about the darkened house next door, the supposedly abandoned home of Hayden St. Clair, the man society has dubbed the “Murderous Marquess.” Certainly one small peek through his window before the festivities would be harmless…“And, naturally, this latest “adventure” ends in disaster, thoroughly compromising the budding debutante’s reputation and leaving her suddenly, unthinkably…betrothed! Soon she’d en route to the wilds of Cornwall in the company of the handsome, mysterious marquess whose name the ton whisper with fear and loathing.
“Yet there is something thrilling—and surprisingly tender—about her dark unreachable groom, and the desire in his eyes is undeniable. But before Lottie will surrender to the yearnings in her heart, she must unlock the secrets of Hayden’s past, no matter how scandalous or perilous—they may be.”
This book was fantastic! I love Teresa Medeiros and she certainly did NOT disappoint me with this sequel to her final installment of the Fairy Tale Series, A Kiss to Remember. This follows Laura’s younger sister, Lottie, as she finds herself in a scrape that no amount of help from her brother-in-law’s power and influence can get her out of.
The readers are introduced to Hayden and, at first; they can almost believe the rumors that he killed his first wife in cold blood. As the story goes on, they can see that he is a man haunted by more than one ghost. He has a secret to hide and Lottie is determined to make the best of the situation—even when she discovers that very secret he is trying to keep.
I was not used to the supernatural aspect that this book brought to the table, but it was a delectable story nonetheless!
I completely fell for the characters and I didn’t want this book to end. I cannot wait to read more of her works!
