About The Nabob's Widow
The Marquis had never met a female worthy of his steel--until Dianthe arrived. A shock awaited London’s most independent bachelor, the Marquis of Dartford, when he returned to find his London townhouse occupied by a most unlikely invader. His Lordship could hardly believe his ears when this chit of a girl, barely twenty, announced herself to be his uncle’s widow from far-off India, and then proceeded to plan a campaign to take the most sophisticated circles of society by storm. At first the Marquis felt obliged to guard Dianthe from the dangers of seduction and scandal. But soon he saw it was himself he had to protect--before he fell prey to a huntress armed with every weapon of the gentle sex.
