Lady Willow Arlington, hauntingly lovely, is also blind and known by the ton as the dowry-less daughter. Alasdair Morley, the Marquess of Westcliffe, is in need of an heiress, but Lady Willow should be the last person he craves after she was persuaded to reject his offer of marriage when he was a mere third son. Passion reignites between them, and he makes an enticing offer she cannot resist, drawing them into a dance of lust and love despite the misgivings in his heart.

The Marquess and I, Book 1 in the Forever Yours series, was about Lady Willow Arlington, daughter of His Grace Stuart Arlington, the Duke of Milton, and Lord Alasdair Morley, the Marquess of Westcliffe. Having been born the third son, Alasdair never expected to inherit the title. After his father died, the eldest brother, Marcus, had become the Marquess. When he died of influenza, his brother Charles had been in line to inherit, though he did not hold the title long. Having spent most of the family coffers on a life of debauchery, Charles died in a carriage race through London, thus leaving Alasdair to inherit. Willow had been in love with Alasdair and had dreamed of one day marrying him. However, as a third son, her parents deemed him unworthy and had betrothed her to the Duke of Alsop. After having broken things off with Alasdair, Willow disappeared with her mother in what was supposed to be a time for building her trousseau. Alasdair had left to join the army fighting Napoleon. Upon seeing Willow again after six years of separation, Alasdair was bent on revenge. He was determined to make her suffer for her untenable rejection. The story was well written, full of angst, drama, passion, pain, doubt, joy, acceptance...the whole gamut of emotions. Though there was little humor, what there was of it added spice to the book. The characters were well-written and fleshed out, holding nothing back and hiding nothing from each other, which is a rarity for such a book. The twists and turns of the plot were entertaining to unravel, and the author had such a way with words that the reader never lost interest. While there were a few grammar issues, they were not insurmountable, nor did they detract from the story. This book definitely earned a five-star rating and the right to be added to the Keeper for the Shelves collection.
