About the book
Regally beautiful, Lady Alexandra Wilton has refused to wed without love. She will not compromise--until her father dies and his shocking will reveals that Alexandra will lose everything unless she marries his heir. Much to everyone's surprise, the next earl is an upstart, a fiery Highlander just as outraged at the prospect of wedding a frosty Englishwoman as Alexandra is at the very idea of bedding him. But for this romantic lady, the unexpected is about to happen...an explosive meeting of two strong-willed forces that will change everything she believes about desire and her own heart.
