Mischief with the Marquis

Book 2: Rogues Out of Time

Maggie Blake is jogging through Hyde Park in London, worried about her missing sister, Emma, when a man drops out of a tree and lands at her feet. He looks like a pirate, speaks like a gentleman, and claims he’s been framed for piracy. Then he notices the antique key Maggie wears on a chain—and insists it’s his. He grabs it, the world spins, and Maggie is hurled back to 1814.

Simon Herrington, Marquis of Wildford, is a privateer for the Crown, falsely accused of piracy and facing the hangman’s noose. When he is flung into the future, he encounters the most extraordinary woman. Then dragged back to his own time, he is determined to uncover her identity—and why she has the key that holds his fate.

Thrust together by fate, Maggie and Simon struggle to resist their growing attraction. With time tugging them toward separate futures, will love be strong enough to defy it? Or are some hearts destined to be broken?
