Second chances can lead to dangerous affairs of the heart… They were once lovers who parted in bitterness and betrayal. Now they are enemies and can’t resist each other. Edith, Lady Carruthers, has everything a woman could ever want: beauty, wealth, and power. But she is also trapped in a loveless marriage with a cruel earl who treats her like a trophy. The only man who ever made her feel alive was Ambrose, the now dashing and rebellious Marquis of Camber. But she rejected him for a title, and he never forgave her. Ambrose has spent the last ten years trying to forget Edith. He has become a notorious rake and duelist, courting danger and scandal at every turn.

The old flame between them reignites, but someone is playing a dark game with them—new and old enemies who want to ruin them both. Can they overcome their pride and their enemies?

Book Description
In the fourth installment of USA Today bestselling author Bree Wolf's emotionally charged 'Love's Second Chance Series', Connor must find a way to break through Henrietta's defenses...before the demons of her childhood separate them for good. He forced her hand.Now, she will deny him her heart. After what her father did to her mother, HENRIETTA TURNER's worst fears are to be realised when her uncle decides to marry her off to a Scot. Gentleman or not, Henrietta knows that at his core he is still a barbarian. What will she suffer at the hands of this savage? CONNOR BRUNWOOD, MARQUIS OF RODRIDGE, can't believe he fell head over heels in love with this thin, pale twig of a girl. However, the moment he saw her, he knew he had to make her his wife. If only she didn't hate the very sight of him! However, when his life is suddenly in danger, an assassin lying in wait, everything they thought they knew is put to the test. Will Henrietta betray her husband or stand by his side? Will she take the opportunity to rid herself of him forever? Or will she risk everything to save his life...as well as her heart? *Although certain characters appear in multiple books, 'Abandoned & Protected - The Marquis' Tenacious Wife' can be read as a stand-alone. However, in order to avoid spoiler, I'd advise against reading them out of order. NOTE: Abandoned & Protected follows the love story of Henrietta and Connor until their happily-ever-after. However, there is a secondary story line, which continues in Betrayed & Blessed when Tristan, Henrietta's brother, and Beth fight for their own happily-ever-after as each couple deserves their own full-length story.
