The Vicious Viscount — Madelaine Gibson
Was love hiding behind the mask of the mysterious gentleman?
IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE HER HAPPY CHILDHOOD DAYS BEHIND...
Father is good and clever but far from rich. Mother's jewels have been sold to send her brothers to University, and now, vivacious and beautiful Marianne Preston must travel to London to make her own fortune. Her family expects her to marry well--a duke or an earl would do quite nicely--except Marianne has little patience for the frivolous dandies and callow young men who dally in London's high society. Especially the arrogant Viscount Desmarais whose reckless behavior hardly befits his title, and whose ardor only increases with her every rejection. But Marianne's charm and beauty have also attracted other men--a situation which leads to an ungentlemanly wager and a daring kidnap plot.
