Drawn to the Marques is a sensual Regency suspense about a man going blind and a woman who needs saving, not only from a man trying to implicate her in her husbands death, but from the small internal world she’s creating for herself.

Here is the blurb

Destined to go blind, a rake sets his sights on the toast of society, lighting a fire of passion that scorches the night, in this captivating novel from USA Today bestselling author Bronwen Evans.

Stephen Hornsby, the Marquess of Clevedon, has one goal: to see every exquisite thing he can before he goes blind. His greatest joy, watching a woman shuddering in the throes of passion, will be gone. But before the darkness descends, he is determined to seduce a magnificent widow, Lady Penelope Fisherton. Unfortunately, his rakish reputation has preceded him; Lady Penelope spurns his advances. Being a man who relishes a challenge, however, her reluctance adds only luster to his desire for the last beautiful sight he’ll ever see.

Considered the belle of London society, Lady Penelope was married to a scoundrel who cared for no one but himself. Now that she’s free, she wants nothing to do with love, passion, or desire—emotions that abandoned her with a cruel husband. So why does her body react when Stephen smiles? As much as she’d like to avoid the rogue, her brother-in-law wants her fortune, and he’ll kill to get it. Stephen is willing to help, but he’ll take only one thing in return: Her. In his bed

Question: Read the excerpt below. Can you guess the name of the auction house where did Penny and Stephen first meet?

“Congratulations, my lord. I hope you can appreciate such workmanship.”
Stephen looked the beautiful woman up and down slowly, and with a seductive smile uttered, “I appreciate all things of beauty.”
She did not react to his double entendre but stood silently staring at his face as if learning every feature by heart so as not to forget him. He hoped she would not forget him for he would not forget her.
“If you ever wish to sell the painting, please let me know.”
Before he could ask her name, she sighed, gathered her skirts in one hand and swept past him, while her redheaded friend winked as she followed her.
He turned to watch them depart. Why had she not told him her name? The woman intrigued him. There were not many women who resisted his charm, looks, or money. He wasn’t vain. He couldn’t take any credit for the attributes God had seen fit to bestow on him. He could, however, blame God. And he did every day. To the world it looked as if God had bestowed perfection upon him, but his outer shell hid the faults. The fact he had eyes that soon would not see was his own private hell. No one else knew, not even his mother.
Soon he wouldn’t care about his looks, because he would not be able to see himself.
Or see anything of beauty that the world offered.
But not yet, God damn it. Not yet.
He thought about the beautiful woman who had bid against him. She could have tried to flirt with him like her friend had. Her beauty would see many men give her anything she asked for. He was no exception. Why hadn’t she?
He raised his hand and signaled his man of business. “Johnston, can you ascertain the name of the woman who bid against me?”
“Yes, my lord.” He paused before turning away. “The auction house is organizing the packing of the painting. I’ll see it is sent to your townhouse.”
“Very good, but I shall wait to leave until I have the lady’s name.”
Just then Mr. Sotheby approached. “Name, my lord?”
“The woman who also bid on the Wilson.”
Mr. Sotheby smiled. “Lady Penelope Fisherton.” At Stephen’s raised eyebrow Sotheby added, “I’m not surprised you have not heard of her ladyship. She’s a widow and lives near Land’s End in Essex. She very rarely comes to town.” ... See MoreSee Less
