This Is Love

When the spirited young Lady Athina Ling was forced to stay the night at a Posting Inn, she heard the screams of a small boy being savagely beaten by Lord Brunham, his stepfather. She vowed to rescue the child woefully mistreated, and very early next morning she takes him to his uncle's manor house. The Marquess of Rockingdale was excessively attractive -- Society's spoiled and notorious darling.

Athina agreed to the masquerade for the boy's sake, but when they joined forces to defy a desperate enemy, a charade of Love became genuine -- Heaven's truest Gift of Bliss....
