HOW TO MARRY A MARQUIS

A second funny and fast paced Regency-set duet from Julia Quinn, the bestselling author of the beloved Bridgerton novels. When Elizabeth Hotchkiss stumbles upon a copy of 'How to Marry a Marquis' in her employer's library, she's convinced someone is playing a cruel joke. With three younger siblings to support, she knows she has to marry for money, but who might have guessed how desperate she's become? Although a guidebook to seduction might just be the thing she needs, what harm could there be in taking a little peek? James Sidwell, the Marquis of Riverdale, has been summoned to rescue his aunt from a blackmailer, a task that requires him to pose as the new estate manager, and his primary suspect is his aunt's companion, Elizabeth. Intrigued by this alluring young woman with the curious little rulebook, he gallantly offers to help her find a husband - by practicing her wiles on him. But when practise becomes all too perfect, James decides that there is only one rule worth following - that Elizabeth marry her marquis.
