Her Ruined Marquess

Perpetua Vane is ruined, penniless, and can hear debts — every promise anyone ever broke hums in her teeth like a struck fork. So when the Marquess of Ashover publicly humiliates her cousin and vanishes, Perpetua follows the sound of a pledge she has never heard before and finds him in a burning folly with a marriage contract that isn't his. Ashover is bound to a fae creditor who collects wives the way other men collect debts. He meant to marry Perpetua's cousin and disappear. Perpetua offers him a different plan: marry her, and let her untie him, one broken promise at a time. They have one season to peel a decade of pledges off his skin. On the wedding night, the creditor comes to call. Some women would run. Perpetua intends to be paid for.
