This is the first half of Courtney Milan's Worth Saga-the half set in the West. Five books and novellas, plus one short story, together comprising 300,000 words. Once Upon a Marquess The last man Judith Worth wants to see again is Christian Trent, the Marquess of Ashford-the man who spent summers at her family home, who kissed her one magical night ́Œand then heartlessly destroyed her family. But when a tricky business matter arises, he's the only one she can ask for help ́Œ Her Every Wish Daisy's father is dead, her mother is in ill health, and her available funds have dwindled to a memory. When the local parish announces a Christmas charity bequest to help young people start a trade, it's her last chance.
