The Seduction of Lady Phoebe: 1 [Mass Market Paperback] Quinn, Ella

Lady Phoebe Stanhope has sworn off rakes, scoundrels, and anyone remotely resembling her philandering late husband. Enter Marcus Finley, the fifth Marquis of St. Albans — a wealthy, maddeningly handsome war hero who's decided she's exactly what he needs in a wife. The problem? Phoebe wants nothing to do with marriage, no matter how persistent (or charming) the marquis might be. Marcus has never met a woman quite so determined to refuse him, which only makes the chase more intriguing. Set against the glittering ballrooms and country estates of Regency England, this is Ella Quinn's sparkling series opener — full of witty banter, stubborn hearts, and a hero who'll have to prove he's worth the risk. For readers who like their historical romance with backbone and a slower burn.
