Quinn's second installment in The Marriage Game series is a witty, romantic
historical tale about a young lady who must choose between her head and her
heart...
Since she was a young girl, Anna Marsh has dreamed of Sebastian, Baron
Rutherford asking for her hand in marriage. But that was in another life when
her brother Harry was alive, before she vowed to secretly continue the work he
valiantly died for. Now as Sebastian finally courts Anna, she must thwart his
advances. Were he to discover her secret, he would never deem her a suitable
wife...

much more to this intriguing woman. Somehow he must prove to her that they are
meant to be together. But first he must unravel the seductive mystery that is
Miss Anna Marsh...
Rutherford regarded the large, buff, fair-haired gentleman with a sapient eye.
“What is it you need me to do?”
“We think we’ve a bit of a problem in your area of Kent.” Jamison glanced
through some documents on his desk. “All along the coast actually. You’re not
the only one we’re calling in.” His bushy brows drew together. “We’ve heard
rumors out of France that some of Napoleon’s former officers might take up his
cause. I’ve no doubt they’ll be trying to run information through the smuggling
gangs. That’s where you come in.” Jamison put his elbows on his desk and leaned
forward. “Harry Marsh used to keep track of the smugglers in your area. You’ll
have to do it now.”
Rutherford frowned. “I thought they’d disbanded. That was the reason Harry could
leave to work elsewhere.”
Jamison shook his large head. “No, my boy. Harry had got someone else to take
them over. Never told us who it was. All he said was the man was responsible and
would have good control over them. After all, it was only to have been for a few
months.”
Rutherford leaned back in his chair and blew out a breath. “I wonder who? I’ll
have to scout around and try to find out who the smugglers’ head man is. Harry
always took the lead with them. I went a few times, but I’m not even sure they’d
remember me.” Rutherford sat up and scowled. “I wish to hell he’d stayed and not
gone over to France.”
The only good thing to come of this was that he would be able to escort Anna
home after the wedding ceremony. He wondered how she’d take that bit of news and
decided not to tell her until they were already at Marcus’s family’s estate.
