Daughter of a wealthy duke, Blaze Flambeau has no shortage of gentlemen vying for her hand in marriage--yet all she desires is her independence. She'd much rather devote her energies to caring for her prized thoroughbred than to the fortune hunters who knock down her door. But her father is ready to see her wed, so he makes her a bargain: she may participate in the racing season only if she gives each suitor a fighting chance at her heart.
One man, however, makes Blaze a far more scandalous proposition: her reputation or his bed! For Ross MacArthur, Marquis of Awe, knows something that could ruin her, and he will not hesitate to use it to win her. Blaze cannot let the Scottish rogue have his way--or her innocence--but never in her life has she been so tempted. Perhaps the Marquis's scheme doesn't pose such a dilemma after all. . .

Marrying The Marquis
Chapter One
Newmarket, England
The duchess was giving her grief.
Blaze Flambeau crossed the bedchamber to the window overlooking the gardens. Her lips quirked in grudging admiration for her stepmother, a woman determined to reach her goals, not unlike herself.
Her Grace refused to accept that she planned never to marry, and discussing the situation with her father had not helped. He had shrugged at her complaint and explained that his dearest Roxie wanted everyone to marry and live as happily as she. Of course, as the duke's second wife, his dearest Roxie had not been abandoned at home while her husband sired seven daughters on Gabrielle Flambeau, his long-time lover.
Blaze knew she would not feel differently once she had met-as her father insisted-the right man, her true love. What had love given her mother except heartache and seven daughters?
Scanning the world outside her window, Blaze spotted the gardeners performing their daily chores. She would need to wait before slipping outside to complete her task.
Blaze leaned against the windowsill, willing the gardeners to hurry, when the first stirrings of dread seeped into her consciousness. Her stepmother had invited several bachelors to dine with the family that evening, and nobody refused an invitation from the Duke and Duchess of Inverary.
Snoring from the bed intruded on her thoughts, drawing her attention. Puddles was lying in the middle of her bed, all four limbs outstretched. The brindled mastiff looked like he was sleeping off a seven-day drunk.
Blaze wandered across the room to the cheval mirror.
