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.
