Wreck and Ruin

Society may not approve of a spinster establishing her own home, but the ton hasn't meet Hannah. Her audacious plans go awry, however, when her ship sinks off the coast of Cornwall. She barely escapes wreckers, led by a man wearing a griffin ring, only to find herself alone and bereft of possessions--and her reputation. When Lord Blackwold and his grandmother grant her refuge, she's horrified to discover that the attractive marquess is one of four men wearing a griffin ring like that of the wrecker leader.

A strange accident, the specter of social ruin, and Blackwold's annoying betrothal upset Hannah's plans, but they don't stop her. Despite great danger, she determines to unmask the wrecker's leader and set her own course. She fears her trust in the marquess may be misplaced, but her heart insists that his love will light the way home.
