An office boy unexpectedly inherits the title of Marquis. As well as dealing with this unexpected elevation in his status, and learning how to behave as a member of the aristocracy he also has to protect his newly inherited estate from clever con-men who try to convince him that there is oil on his land. (I found this book in an old antique shop while shopping and thought it might be nice to share it. It was published in 1921 by Edgar Wallace. I hope you enjoy!)

Now Available on Amazon or read for free with Kindle Unlimited. If you can I would really appreciate a review to make it easier for others to read. Thank you. Amidst the opulence of Regency-era England, "My Cynical Marquess" weaves a tale of unexpected connection. Miss Grace Preston, an orphan brimming with intelligence and an unyielding spirit, yearns to escape stifling societal norms. Her refuge becomes the home of the Marquess of Rutherford, a man of commanding presence and frosty demeanor. Thrown together by circumstance, Grace and the Marquess clash as he suspects her intentions towards his elderly mother. As misunderstandings entwine them, they form an unlikely alliance against the strictures of society. Grace challenges gender conventions, while the Marquess wrestles with emotions he thought long suppressed. Yet peril looms. Grace's scheming uncle plots a marriage that threatens her independence, while the Marquess is entangled with a high-society lady desperate to secure her future. In a race against time, they must navigate treacherous waters to rescue each other. "My Cynical Marquess" is a captivating story of defying expectations, embracing desire, and unearthing the strength of the human spirit. Will societal pressures break their spirits, or will their connection lead to a love that defies the odds? As danger and passion intertwine, Grace and the Marquess must decide whether to yield to society or fight for a future where love reigns triumphant.

But in return, I expect my money's worth". ****************************************** 'MISUNDERSTANDING', A simple word yet so consequential.
