When Cara Felicity Douglas, known throughout the ton as Miss
Perfect, sets her cap for childhood chum and Nautionnier
Knight Lance Prescott, she enlists the aid of the Brethren
women to chart a course for the altar. But her plans go
awry, when her prospective bridegroom refuses to cooperate,
and the hunter becomes the hunted. Soon Cara is forced to
choose between staunch obedience of societal expectations,
or throw caution to the wind and take a chance on love, as
the young lady finds herself entangled in the trap she set
for her knight.
After an injury at sea leaves Lance bedridden, and his rival
captains Lance’s ship, he drowns in a dangerous mix of
anger, frustration, and jealousy. Harboring more than
physical wounds, a past tragedy haunts his present and
future. When Cara proclaims him the man of her dreams, Lance
vows, “I will never be your husband.” But Miss Perfect will
not be deterred and acts completely out of character, making
him an offer he dare not refuse, if only he can win her
heart. For two people so alike in every way, what could
possibly go wrong? In a word: Everything.
