Book Description

The last thing Lady Cordelia Rutledge expected to find during her family visit to Guernsey Island was a husband. But when an innocent tour of the island finds her stranded, unchaperoned, with her charming guide, an arranged marriage seems imminent as the only way to satisfy her family and salvage her reputation. So much for her tour of the continent… If archaeologist Marshall Compton, Marquess of Daventry, had known his chivalrous offer to act as the lovely Cordelia’s guide would land him a fiancée, he probably wouldn’t have made it in the first place. The only thing he knows for certain, however, is that his plans for an Indian expedition are most assuredly lost. But before Cordelia and Marshall can embark on a future together, they must contend with an ancient cult, run-ins with the Russians (or are they pirates?), and the mystical secrets hidden in Guernsey folklore—all while managing the ultimate folly…falling in love.
