When Dante Werian, Marquess of Edenvale helps a young woman escape from a burning building, he doesn't expect to learn he rescued her from the village jail. Nor does he expect to find himself married to her before the night ends. Neither does Gabrielle Alexandra Lyn-Edred, known as Stormy due to her initials, expect to exchange the shackles of prison for the bonds of matrimony. But in 1814 Scotland, even an heiress convicted of a felony and a nobleman running from an intolerable family situation, can make the wrong claims before witnesses and find themselves married by mistake.
