Marleigh calls him ‘Adonis’; he is so strikingly handsome. The Duke of Pangbourne, somewhat in a snit of jealousy, called him “Rottenham.” Alexander Hugh Fitzallen is the Marquess of Rotherham. Raised by his father in South Yorkshire when his mother abandoned both husband and son, yet they flourished.
The Marquess is a
thoughtful, industrious caretaker of the family estate. He prefers the country
to city life and is of an age to begin seeking a wife to share his life’s work.
He is ecstatic when he discovers Marleigh has a keen interest in business and
farming. It is the exact subjects he is focused on to continue enriching the
coffers of the family wealth. He concludes she would be the perfect mate!
Quite taken with Lady
Marleigh, Rotherham is delighted to be
counted as “her first friend in England.” In fact, he would like to be more than
a friend. To discover the depth and interest of Rotherham’s affections, you
will have to read That Wylde Woman!
