The Marquess's Adventurous Miss (The Oxford Set #1)

Richard, Marquess of Heatherbroke, has been thrown out of his Oxford Set for one mistaken night. He is a broken and bitter man, who only cares for one thing: finding and protecting his illegitimate child.

Prudence Pendleton leads a sedate country life as the daughter of a vicar. Although she longs for adventure, the only hint of mystery in her life is Harriet, the little girl who was left on their doorstep in the middle of the night years ago.

When Richard kidnaps the pair of them, Prudence knows what she must do. She must protect Harriet even though it means leaving behind everything she has ever known. Prudence and Richard are united by their love for the child and a growing attraction for each other, but will Richard’s infamous past, and a host of other obstacles keep them apart?
