A forbidden attraction. A mysterious château. A marriage that will change everything. France, 1873. When Angelyn de Poitiers arrives at the imposing Château de Saint-Auxerre, she believes her future has already been decided. Bound by a marriage agreement arranged by her late father, she has travelled a long way to marry Etienne de Ferbes, the young nobleman promised to her. But Etienne is nowhere to be found. Instead, Angelyn encounters his elder brother, Maurice, the enigmatic Marquis de Ferbes. Dark, commanding, and difficult to understand, Maurice unsettles her from the moment they meet. Beneath his impeccable manners lies an intensity that both intrigues and frightens her—and a secret desire he can scarcely conceal. As Angelyn waits for her absent fiancé, life inside the ancient château becomes increasingly complicated. Surrounded by aristocratic traditions, family rivalries, old grief, and whispered secrets, she finds herself drawn towards the one man she should never love. Maurice is torn between family duty and a passion that threatens to overcome his reason. But desire has consequences, and the choices he makes may destroy the trust between brothers and place Angelyn's future in jeopardy. When an arranged marriage becomes an unexpected love story, can two hearts find happiness in a world ruled by duty, reputation, and deception? Set against the atmospheric backdrop of nineteenth-century France, The Wicked Marquis Seeks a Bride is a passionate historical romance about forbidden desire, aristocratic secrets, and the perilous choices people make in the name of love.
