Virtual Book Blast Tour for The Marquis and I by Ella Quinn
Trouble is no match
for a lady of the extended Worthington family—except when it comes in the form
of a most irresistible gentleman . . .
Lady Charlotte Carpenter’s
brother-in-law has put an infamous brothel owner out of business—yet it is
Charlotte who suffers the consequences. Abducted by thugs and held at an inn,
she is plotting her escape when she’s suddenly rescued by a dashing gentleman.
Only afterward does she realize she’s seen him before—with two courtesans!
Unwilling to tarry with such a man, Charlotte makes her second escape. But it
is too late to repair her reputation . . .
A known gossip has
spied Charlotte’s movements, and his report is speeding through the rumor mill.
Soon, everyone knows that Charlotte spent the night with Constantine, Marquis
of Kenilworth. And everyone agrees the only answer is marriage—including
Constantine himself, his overjoyed mother—and his mistress! But Charlotte’s abductors
aren’t finished with her yet. Now Constantine will do anything to protect the
spirited woman he loves and win her heart . . .

Excerpt:
“I have come to see Lady Charlotte.”
“Follow me, my lord. The family is in the garden for the
wedding.”
Wedding?
To the best of his knowledge, Charlotte was the only young
lady of marriageable age not already wed. Had Harrington returned with a
special license? He could go to the devil it he had. He could not have her.
Charlotte was Con’s, and it was about time she knew it. “I can find my way.”
“As you wish, my lord. Go straight down the corridor.”
“Thank you.”
He must put an end to this wedding before it was too late.
Rushing down the corridor, he looked to his right, and spied open French
windows in a parlor. A large group of people were gathered just beyond the
terrace.
Con prayed he was in time to stop her. Halt the wedding.
Hell, what sort of man asks permission of his father to marry someone like
Charlotte? Not one she needs.
The Fates had given her to him and no one was going to take
her away. Even if the time to object had passed, he would make himself known.
She was his.
Dashing through the room, he arrived in the garden in time
to hear Worthington say, “If there is anyone who objects to this wedding, speak
now or forever hold your peace.”
Worthington? Con almost skidded to a stop.

Although this is the fourth book in the Worthington series, it reads well as a stand alone.
It begins with danger and excitement as Charlotte is abducted, to be sold into the sex trade!
Constantine, a "gentleman" who it seems has only his own best interests at heart, finds himself in a position to rescue the damsel in distress, only to be put into a compromising position himself, leading to an unwelcome engagement. Your impression of feelings for each of these main characters may change back and forth as you read. Come prepared to become emotionally involved in their story.
A mixture of romance and danger and historical references make this another winning novel from Ms. Quinn.
