BOOK #1

When Edward Brelsford, the Marquess of Lockhaven, accidentally dumps his dessert down the gown of a mysterious beauty, he knows his life will never be the same. He's avoided matrimony like the plague but now...he may have just met the one woman who can entice him out of his bachelorhood. The only problem - Selena MacLaren has vowed never to marry again. She's convinced she's cursed, having already buried four husbands. She has no desire to once again trade in her wedding veil for widow's weeds. Edward's penchant for mischief and tendency to narrowly avoid catastrophic accidents only confirms she needs to keep her distance, for his own good. Still, despite his family's misgivings about the rumors surrounding her and what actually happened to all her husbands, Edward, is determined to woo her. And Selena cannot help but hope that this time, the curse will be broken. But then someone from her past reappears and threatens their newfound love.
