Lady Anne's Deception
She had a long way to go from the wedding to become a wife.

"SOMEHOW I WILL MARRY BEFORE MARIGOLD--ANYONE WHO WILL HAVE ME"

When Lady Anne Sinclair vowed to marry before her spoilt beauty of a sister, she had no idea the "anyone" would be the Marquess of Torrance. Long the darling of the ton--and considered quite the confirmed bachelor--he succumbed to Annie's charms and, almost magically, made her his wife.

But Annie's lifelong battle for attention had ill-prepared her for married life. In a tipsy revery on her wedding night, she blurted out her real reason for marrying the Marquess--and her husband's formidable pride shut the door on any further communication.

Only a crisis of major proportions could bring the headstrong newlyweds together. And no less than the chancellor of the exchequer, with sinister political ambitions known only to himself, embroiled Annie in a dangerous plot that taught her the truth about her wifely sentiments.
