The Black Pearl Patricia Degroot

MORE PRECIOUS THAN ANY JEWEL... Isabel Marchand had several reasons to wed Jeremy Quinn, Marquess of Pearl, not the least of which was to retain custody of her orphaned nephews. It didn't matter to her that Quinn had spent time in Marshalsea Prison, or that he had never answered one of her many letters. What mattered was the trust she longed to earn from him - and the love she longed to share. ... AND RARER THAN ANY TREASURE Quinn walked out of his cell to hear that a bride awaited him - and found himself face to face with his former fiancée. Why was she willing to marry him now? He had no answer to that, nor the answer to whose cruel scheme had sent him to Marshalsea. He even suspected Isabel. Yet vengeance was difficult to consider when he wanted so to trust her - and longed to love her once more.
