Say Yes to the Marquess\u00a0by Tessa Dare<\/a>
\nRelease Date: December 30<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your presence is requested at romantic Twill Castle for the wedding of Miss Clio Whitmore and … and …?<\/p>\n

After eight years of waiting for Piers Brandon, the wandering Marquess of Granville, to set a wedding date, Clio Whitmore has had enough. She’s inherited a castle, scraped together some pride, and made plans to break her engagement.<\/p>\n

Not if Rafe Brandon can help it. A ruthless prizefighter and notorious rake, Rafe is determined that Clio will marry his brother–even if he has to plan the dratted wedding himself.<\/p>\n

So how does a hardened fighter cure a reluctant bride’s cold feet?<\/p>\n

\u2022 He starts with flowers. A wedding can’t have too many flowers. Or harps. Or cakes.
\n\u2022 He lets her know she’ll make a beautiful, desirable bride–and tries not to picture her as his.
\n\u2022 He doesn’t kiss her.
\n\u2022 If he kisses her, he definitely doesn’t kiss her again.
\n\u2022 When all else fails, he puts her in a stunning gown. And vows not to be nearby when the gown comes off.
\n\u2022 And no matter what–he doesn’t fall in disastrous, hopeless love with the one woman he can never call his own.<\/p>\n
