Left alone on the family estate, headstrong Brien Weston has learned to
manage for herself. But when she becomes too independent for her noble
father's tastes, he orders an arranged marriage "for her own good."
Taking matters into her own hands, Brien discovers that what makes a
woman truly ineligible for marriage is marriage itself. So how does a
woman acquire a husband . . . who won't really be a husband?
Having rejected his own father's title and fortune, shipbuilder Aaron
Durham vows to find a way to finance his dreams. But what is a charming
scapegrace to do when a desperate young lady and a small fortune fall
into his lap . . . with a shocking condition attached?
One irresistible night of passion will change their destinies. Touch by
touch, kiss by kiss, they fall deeper into a love large enough to span
continents . . . strong enough to overcome deception . . . and sweet
enough to make them forget that they have been.
