The Marquess and the Scandalous Debutante

by Earl Cross

Lady Millicent Vane, only daughter of the notorious Earl of Wexly, has suddenly become a social pariah, and given the cut direct by much of the ton. Once considered the belle of the ball, her late father's secrets are reaching out beyond the grave to vex her once again. No decent, titled gentleman will offer marriage now, and her prospects seem bleak. Years earlier, she had mistaken Will's proposal the day after they met, to be in jest. If only he had given her time to realize what she felt for him was love. If only he had returned and asked again...
William Grant, Marquess of Crestlewick has spent the last four years, trying to forget the gorgeous young woman he fell in love with on the dance floor. When he offered her marriage, she had laughed in his face. Vowing that day to never to darken her door, his pride has kept him at a distance. But the years have only made his feelings for Millie grow stronger, and what good is his reputation, if he doesn't have the woman he loves?
