The Marquess' Muse (Scandalous Nobility #3)

The former Lady Belfour, daughter of the Earl of Galloway and a highland woman of warrior kin, returns to London as a widow and a mother.

Content with raising her daughter on her own and pursuing her dream of being a poet, Charity is hesitant to fall victim of the influences of her old life when her first love walks through the shop doors.

Charity soon finds herself caught in a web of the same scandals and customs she had runaway from to begin with. Desperate to give her daughter the life she deserves, she accepts her new fate and the man who would offer her the world.

Elias Turner, the Marquess of Northampton, does not know what to make of the trouser-clad shopkeeper who had broken his heart many years ago.

He could tell that Charity Balfour had stayed true to her old ways, thinking it was she alone against the world. Sensing her newfound hatred toward upper society, Elias decides to change her mind about him.

Despite the obvious repercussions of his actions, he is determined to befriend his darling once again.
