Book Description

When her father loses her in a poker game, Lexie Markland is sent to work in the household of Nicholas Wetherby for one year to pay off the debt. Innocent, but not naïve, she is savvy enough to know she must maintain her distance from this man, who frustrates her with his relentless teasing but whose kisses bring her to her knees. Because although she may be just another conquest to him, it’s not just her heart in jeopardy should she succumb to Nicholas’ considerable charms.

Since his brother's death almost a year before, nothing has held Nicholas’ attention for long—not women, not booze, not even an excellent hand at cards. Nothing, that is, until he meets the woman he won in a drunken night of poker. Intrigued by his prize and her chilly reserve, he makes it his mission to crack Lexie’s cool demeanor. But even as passion explodes between them, the question remains: will Nicholas be able to take the ultimate risk...and gamble on love?

Editorial Reviews

Review

RT BOOK REVIEWS - Susan Mobley  RT BOOK REVIEWS 4 STARS for THE MARKER  Set in late 19th-century America, Connors' fine tale still has the flavor of a Regency. The heroine's desire to protect her abusive father is not difficult to empathize with, and there are a number of secondary characters whose stories one will long to discover.

5.0 out of 5 stars So romantic February 17, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I loved that the book was historical, but took place in the U.S. I felt transported to another time. The love scenes were beautifully written and sensual. I'm hoping to find out more about the supporting characters in the book, specifically about Claire and her husband, and James. I can't wait to read more from this author!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lexie has heart! January 16, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I'll admit, other than Linda Lael Miller (and just recently Patricia Watters)I'd read few western romances. The Marker blew me away with a sharp, well-crafted storyline and I rooted for the heroine, Lexie, as she meets her match in Nicholas Wetherby. Fans of Miller (and Watters) will enjoy Connors character-driven historical.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sacramento has never been so sexy! December 18, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I grew up in California, and I learned much about its history, but Connor's historical take on life in the late 1800s enlightened me. The text is detail rich, and the story is engrossing. _The Marker_ is a highly sensual read, and what could be better than getting turned on while you learn? Love this book!
