The Guardian to the Marquess (An Uncommon Gentleman Novel Book 2)

Description

Reginald Bishop was quite content with his well-ordered life as a country doctor. But when Nanny Jessica McComb shows up exhausted and ill with his young niece and nephew in tow, he realizes something tragic has happened to his sister and her husband the Marquess, throwing all of their lives into danger. As the named guardian to the infant Marquess, and trustee to the marquisate, Reginald seeks the truth of what happened to his sister and best friend. Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to cover up their murder, framing innocent Jessica in the process. When Jessica’s arrested, he has little to go on to prove her innocence, other than a feeling deep in his heart that she could not have committed such an act. With the trial pending and Jessica’s neck very much on the line, will he find the real murderer in time to exonerate the woman whose bravery and fortitude have captured his heart?
