In this emotional and powerfully sensual tale of love and redemption, a tender vicar’s daughter and a tortured war hero discover that sin may be their only salvation.

When Mary Smith’s corrupt, debt-ridden brother drags her to a seedy pub to sell her virtue to the highest bidder, Alasdair Thornham leaps to the rescue. Of course the marquess is far from perfect husband material. Although he is exceedingly handsome, with a perfect, strong body, chiseled jaw, and piercing green eyes, Alasdair is also too fond of opium, preferring delirium to reality. Still, he has come to Mary’s aid, and now she intends to return the favor. She will show him that he is not evil, just troubled.

Mary was a damsel in need of a hero, but Alasdair’s plan is shortsighted. He never foresaw her desire to save him from himself. Alasdair is quite at home in his private torment, until this angel proves that a heart still beats in his broken soul. The devil may have kept her from hell, but will Mary’s good intentions lead them back to the brink—or to heaven in each other’s arms?

Readers comment…“At face value, both characters seem to be preoccupied with their own agendas. Mary with getting to London – without Alasdair – and Alasdair with saving Mary as a way to redeem his soul. Deep down, Mary needed Alasdair’s support and protection, and he needed Mary’s healing nature. ..Though, all in all, this was a great read of two very flawed characters finding love in each other, with the suspense aspect taken care of nicely, leaving the final touch to the characters. “

“Alasdair’s addiction was handled in a very strange manner because he didn’t seem to spend too much time suffering from withdrawal symptoms. It seemed as if his symptoms lasted for just a few days. I thought withdrawal symptoms would have lasted far longer, especially since he wasn’t being weaned off the drug slowly.”

Note…For a more realistic description of opium addiction and withdrawal read To Rescue a Rogue by Jo Beverley. Lord Darius Debenham was severely wounded at Waterloo.
