In the Arms of a Marquess: 3 [Mass Market Paperback] Ashe, Katharine

A British spy and an Indian princess collide in Regency London, dragging six years of unfinished business into ballrooms and bedchambers. Tavy was seventeen when she fell for Ben, a half-Indian marquess working undercover in Calcutta. He vanished without explanation. Now she's engaged to someone safe, someone who won't break her heart — until Ben reappears, all brooding intensity and unresolved tension. He wants her back. She wants answers. What follows is a slow-burn second-chance romance thick with colonial intrigue, opium smuggling, and the kind of emotional wreckage that makes you forget you're reading a historical. Katharine Ashe writes Regency with teeth — her heroines have agency, her heroes have damage, and the politics aren't window dressing. If you like your romance novels smart, sensual, and layered with actual stakes, this is your book.
