Alasdair Thornham Marquess Datchworth is a opium addict. He has come from the war a broken and trouble soul who can't get his life together and move on.. He continues to spiral downward so he can leave the world.  But fate takes over his life when he finds himself playing a knight in shinning armor to a fair maiden. Mary Smith has been drugged and taken to a pub to sell her to the highest bidder because she is a virgin by her brother Mattias. So what does a man do when a damsel is on stage and men are leering at her?  Alastair bids the right money and takes her to his room at the tavern. Mary thinks the man is acting too strange and wonders what will happen to her know. He says marriage will protect her reputation , but then Alastair really doesn't care once he settles her in his household. Then he can go on his way with his little problem til it kills him.  I really think he's way over the top with this thing, but taking the easy way out doesn't sound very hero like to me. I like the authors books, bit this one was not up to scratch..I received this book from Net Galley for an honest review.
