Maid for the Marquess by Melanie Moreland and Scarlett Scott

Maddie marries him to escape her father’s control, never imagining she will fall deeply in love.
For Alexander, rescuing Maddie begins as an act of duty but soon becomes something far greater. Her kindness and strength awaken emotions he thought long buried, and he is determined to protect her from the past that still hunts her. When her father returns seeking vengeance, Alexander will risk everything, even his own life, to keep the woman he loves safe. In a world ruled by cruelty and honor, love becomes their greatest salvation.
