The last thing Marcus, the Duke of Autenberry, expects to see after sleeping off a night's drunken shenanigans is a woman being auctioned in the village square.

Customer Reviews

Different and interesting

I have not read a lot by this author but this was very readable. The characters were interesting, as was the plot. Not a lot of humor, which I require in this genre for 5 stars,but it has made it to the 'keeper' shelf. There appears to be a prequel of which I was unaware.
