Bethany has been in love with Robert for months now, but she never thought she would be forced to marry him. When she imagined their courtship, this was not how she had envisioned it at all. Oh, what nonsense. There had been no courtship to speak of. Only a wedding that went by so quickly she almost missed it. Now she is wed to a man, who was compelled to marry her. Frankly, she would rather have stayed a bluestocking who was likely to become an old maid because she was too smart for any man to want her. Though, to be honest, all her studies at university pale in comparison to what she recently learned in the marriage bed. Who would have thought that such things could be enjoyed? Robert the dashing little brother of the Duke of Leeds never thought he would be married at all. Never mind because he accidentally ruined a woman's reputation. His plan had been to forever remain a confirmed bachelor. Now he has a wife he never wanted. He does have to admit that marriage does have some confirmed benefits, particularly in the bedroom. He never imagined the virtuous Beth could be so enthusiastic about her wifely duties. Their journey in the passageways is more dangerous than either of them expected. And yet, a human menace is far more perilous than the tunnels themselves. In the end will their desire to find the treasure prove to be their downfall? Or will Bethany and Robert's newfound love save them when a nearly tragic event from the past comes back to haunt them?**Be sure to read book 1 in the Gothic Obsession series, "Forbidden Passage" less
