[My Sweet Scoundrel 03] • That Miscreant Marquess

All she wants is a kiss.

At least, that’s what Matilda’s trying to convince herself. A silly wager with her friends—to be the first to kiss one of the friends of the Miscreant Marquess—was won by the marquess’s sister, but Mattie can’t stop thinking about him. One little kiss will free her from her obsession, and she can think about finding a respectable husband like her father wants.

He’s sworn to never fall in love again.

Colin, the Marquess of Markham enjoys flirting with his sister’s friend, and if he hadn’t been burned so badly in love, he could see himself attracted to her. When he overhears her parents talking about a pending match between Matilda and him, he realizes history is repeating itself. He avoids Matilda at all costs, having vowed to never again lose his heart to a woman in search of a title.

Mattie continues to cross Markham’s path, sneaking her way past the walls he’s built around his heart. Can he learn to trust again, and let her into hi heart?
