WHEN A MARQUESS LOVES A WOMAN
Season's Original #3
Vivienne Lorret
Released Oct 4th, 2016
Avon Impulse
As a young,
penniless gentleman, Maxwell Harwick knew he had little to offer Juliet
White—the most beautiful debutante of the season—except his love, and one
thoroughly scandalous kiss. But when they were discovered in a compromising
position, a nearly ruined Juliet fled into the arms of a rich, older lord...
taking Max’s heart with her.
Now a widow, Lady Juliet Granworth intends to use the fortune she inherited
from her odious husband to build a new life in London. Five years have passed,
but she’s never forgotten Max… or his soul-searing kiss. Yet it’s clear the
newly-minted Marquess of Thayne has not forgiven her—after all, the infuriating
man can barely stand the sight of her. But Juliet has endured far too much to
give up without a fight and if it’s a battle of wills he wants, it’s a battle
he’ll get.
He hates her for breaking his heart. She detests him for destroying her future.
But beneath all the loathing, simmers an intoxicating passion that neither can
ignore… and the harder they resist, the harder they will inevitably fall.

“That has always been your problem,
Max,” she hissed, rounding the banister and storming toward him, armed with a
pointed finger. “You’ve always believed you could do whatever you wanted and
damn the consequences. Well, I’m not allowing it this time.” She stopped within
poking distance and did just that, her fingertip meeting the taut muscle
beneath the fine lawn. “I expect you to have this completely repaired, or you
can forget the fair price I was willing to pay.”
He straightened. Uncrossing his arms,
he leaned toward her as if he didn’t even feel her assault. “Perhaps you don’t
recall, but I have always been fully
prepared to face the consequences of my actions. You were the one who ran.”
She scoffed and jabbed him again. “I
was right! All along, this has been about what happened between us five years
ago. Oh, I apologize for wounding
your poor ego when I left, though it seems you’ve managed to recover, as you
are busy narrowing down your list of
bridal candidates.”
“Ego?” He took her by the shoulders, his
grip firm but not cruel, as contempt burned in his dark gaze. “I wanted to
marry you. There was more than ego involved.”
“That kiss happened because you were
consoling me, and we both know it.”
“Do we, Lady Granworth? Or is that
something you told yourself to validate running away to marry a rich old man?”
Gritting his teeth, seething as much as she was, he spun her around and pressed
her back against the wall just inside the bedchamber. “And if you think for one
instant that I’m going to sit back and watch you bring your next husband here
to live, not four doors down from my mother’s house, then you are sorely
mistaken.”
Then, without warning, he crushed his
mouth to hers.
