A Wife for the Marquis: A Christmas Story (Time Travel Series: The Seasons of Time -Extra Book)

On the eve of Christmas, a handsome and solitary young marquess and a destitute orphan cross paths by fate—and change each other’s lives forever.

Edward de Baskerville, Marquess of Algave, never imagined his peace would be shattered by a telegram from his mother, the stern Dowager Marchioness Elizabeth, announcing that she would spend Christmas Eve at his estate. Distance, expectations, and old wounds have always stood between them. Worse yet: she expects to find him properly betrothed in the name of producing an heir to the title.

To escape his mother’s pressure, Edward accepts his butler’s bold suggestion—find a pretend wife just for Christmas dinner. An absurd idea… until fate places a lost young woman in his path.

Emma Smith, an orphan from St. Giles, is fleeing her abusive stepfather through the freezing streets of London, with no shelter, no direction, and no hope—until she is taken in by the marquess. An accident steals her memory, and Emma awakens in a completely new world, surrounded by luxury, kindness… and by a man who proves to be everything she never believed she would find.

But when the truth comes to light, an unexpected feeling blooms between them—a pure, unlikely, and breathtaking love capable of turning a Christmas lie into a miracle.

A sweet, romantic, and deeply festive story, now part of the Seasons of Time universe, revealing the youth of the future Marchioness who, years later, will change the destiny of a time-traveling heroine.

One Wife for the Marquess is a re-release with a brand-new look (new cover, updated proofreading, and several rewritten scenes). Because of the author’s deep affection for this story, it has been added as a bonus novel to her time-travel series Seasons of Time.
