When Mary is caught in a scandal with one of the most notorious rakes in town, she believes the only solution to the grave trouble for her dangerous secrets is a wedding. What she didn't account for was her heart--and his.

***

Adrien Haverston is a rake caught in his own trap after a seduction goes wrong. One great scandal and a bitter wedding later, he is one angry husband to Mary Featherton. But despite his vow to make her suffer for shackling him to a life he has avoided ever since, he begins to realize that the burning attraction that brought them together in the first place might just lead to something promising. But falling in love with his wife may not be as easy as he first thought, because as Adrien peels off every charming and beautiful facet of Mary, he also discovers dark and dangerous secrets--one of which has the potential to shatter him.

No one would expect those of the wealthy high society to mingle with the lowly and poor; not when it's for something as sacred as a marital bond. Lady Fate, however, seems to have differing views when she lands the orphaned Mavis right into the den of high society to become the daughter-in-law of the reputable and esteemed Devereux family. Tristan, her soon-to-be husband, is a cocky and vexatious force to reckon with, whom she constantly butts heads with in a war of words, emotions and actions. But when life-threatening situations are hurled their way and the Devereux family has upon its hands a set of recurring crises, the two quarrelbirds' only way to prevent its downfall might be....togetherness. * Some crossing swords, a bit of firing guns, adequate meeting of eccentric species and races, quite some touring of mystical lands with a heavy dose of the love potion.
