When Caroline Trent is kidnapped by Blake Ravenscroft, she doesn't even try to elude this dangerously handsome agent of the crown. After all, she's been running from unwanted marriage proposals. Yes, Blake believes she's a notorious spy named Carlotta De Leon, but for six weeks until her twenty-first birthday, when she'll gain control of her fortune, hiding out in the titillating company of a mysterious captor is awfully convenient - and maybe just a little romantic, too. Blake Ravenscroft's mission is to bring 'Carlotta' to justice, not to fall in love. His heart has been hardened by years of intrigue, but this little temptress proves oddly disarming and thoroughly kissable. And suddenly the unthinkable becomes possible - and this mismatched couple might be destined for love.

Zaljubljeni markiz prvi je roman u seriji o obitelji Worth. Osam godina nije bilo dovoljno da iz njegovog uma izbriše njezin osmijeh, njezine oči, njezinu odlučnost, njezinu bezbrižnost... Posljednji muškarac kojeg Judith Worth želi ponovno vidjeti je Christian Trent, markiz od Ashforda: muškarac koji je nekoć provodio ljeta u njezinom obiteljskom domu, koji ju je poljubio jedne čarobne večeri... a zatim bešćutno upropastio njezinog oca. Ali suočena s osjetljivim novčanim pitanjem, on je jedini kome se može obratiti za pomoć. Na nju je mislio prilikom svakog ispraznog primanja na kojemu je bio, a i kad je pogledao bilo koju, makar i savršeno ljupku mladu ženu, za koju nije mario jer nije bila Judith. Iako dobro zna da mu ona ne može oprostiti zbog onoga što je učinio njezinoj obitelji, Christian želi osobno pomoći Judith te ubrzo otkriva da sjećanja na nju koja ga već godinama progone nisu ništa u usporedbi sa živahnom ljepoticom koju otkriva. Čitav život trudio se činiti ono što je ispravno. Ali sada otkriva da čini nešto itekako pogrešno: ponovno čezne za jedinom ženom koja nikada neće biti njegova.
