An Heiress for the Marquess
Lords of Voluptas Book Two
A marquess in search of a wife; an heiress desperate to keep her secret safe.
Lord Theodore Raeburne, the Marquess of Oakdene, has spent most of his life pursuing pleasure. He is, after all, related to the Duke of Broadwell, one of the leading members of The Lords of Voluptas, a society that believes that pleasure is the greatest good. However, the marquess has begun to feel restless and jaded. He wants more than passing pleasure. He wants a wife, particularly a woman who will love him for who he is, not for his wealth and title.
Charlotte Drake, the daughter of Lord Theo’s neighbor in Worcestershire, prefers fishing in the rivers near her home to the sophistication of the Beau Monde and is more skilled at galloping across the fields than the refined accomplishments expected of young ladies. Her mother brings her to London for the season, hoping Charlotte’s substantial inheritance will attract the attention of a titled gentleman. But Charlotte has a secret, known only to her old friend Hugh Parsiville, that could jeopardize her chances of a good marriage.

Charlotte and Theo’s story is bittersweet but still lovely. Definitely takes on social mores as in the first book. Interesting villains as well, clothed in distinction. Great to visit with the other Lords of Voluptas. Very enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to this series!
I loved this series and this was a great addition! I think Harriet was one of my favorite characters and I was rooting for her happy ending from the start of the book. I thought Baron Loxley was her perfect match and a good balance. I just kept wishing they would have been better communicating with each other. This book would be good even as a stand-alone story. I would highly recommend this book!.
