Pampered and tutored her whole life, she must marry a man with a lofty title to secure her family's last desire. Unfortunately, luck is not on her side. Her first suitor spurns her when he calls off their engagement. Her second suitor goes even further-- he leaves her stranded at the altar. Gwen realizes that even her money cannot buy her a title, and she is tired of trying to please everyone. After all, it has gotten her nowhere. She needs a change of pace, and being naughty has its appeal. Where should she start? What should she do?

Alexander Ramsey has always been the adventurous one, and his reputation with the ladies usually precedes him. Restless with the dull life provided in England, Alex hit the high seas with his best friend, Richard Maudsley, in a business venture. When Richard died, Alex promised to look after Gwen. He thought that she would finally marry and gain the title that her family hoped for. He did not think that she would be jilted at the altar. He certainly did not expect her reaction to the situation. Her interest in taking a holiday is warranted, but she wants to make outrageous memories. Can he change her mind? Does he really want to once he sees the true Gwen released from her cage?
