The Marquess and the Earl
(2025)(The third book in the Unlikely Betrothal series)
A novel by Christina Diane
A grieving Marquess. An Earl trapped by duty. A love that defies everything they’ve ever known.
Nathaniel
It���s been over a year since Nathaniel, Marquess of Demming, lost the love of his life. The last thing he wants is to endure is a house party under the watchful eye of society. Yet, amidst the frivolity, he finds unexpected intrigue in the company of George, the Earl of Knox.
What begins as lust and attraction soon deepens into something far more dangerous. As desire stirs within him, Nathaniel must decide: can he trust George with his shattered heart, or will he find himself unable to love again?
George
George, the Earl of Knox, knows his duty: court Lady Lily, secure his title, and play the role society demands. But his carefully laid plans unravel the moment he meets Nate. Drawn to the charismatic Marquess, George feels a passion he’s never allowed himself to acknowledge.
As their connection grows, George faces an impossible choice: honor the expectations of his title or risk his reputation—and his future—for a love that could change everything.
Two title gentlemen. One forbidden romance. A passion that could destroy them—or set them free.
