The Disdainful Marquis

A most proper young lady longs to give her love to a dashing nobleman who wants only to buy it

NO PLACE FOR A LADY

Miss Catherine Robins took a position as companion to the Dowager Duchess of Crewe little suspecting what kind of strait she would find herself in. For the not-so-good Duchess expected her hired companions not to please her, but to please the gentlemen she adored having swarm around her.

By the time the Duchess forced Catherine to come with her to a Paris filled with shocking amours and sinister intrigues, Catherine was painfully aware that her reputation and virtue were both in fearful danger. And when the infinitely attractive and thoroughly notorious Marquis of Bessacarr picked Catherine to be his paid plaything, her risks were compounded. This proper young lady in peril had to fight not only the Marquis' audacious advances but her own unsettling responses if she hoped to prove that all her love was more precious than all his gold....
