Heiress Henrietta Monfort would never do anything to hurt her beloved aunt and uncle. But thanks to her cousin-who's discovered a secret about her parentage that even she didn't know-she is moments away from ruin … unless she marries him. Hettie has no choice. She must accept the
villainous snake's hand in marriage. So be it. But no man will ever own her heart, body, or soul.
Lord Findley has always had a soft spot for Hettie. Discovering that she's being blackmailed into marriage is nothing short of appallingly outrageous. How could he allow someone unworthy to marry the gentle-hearted and bright-eyed Hettie-let alone a blaggard of the lowest order? To hell with it.
He'll marry her himself … even if it is the scandal of the season.
Now they're racing for Scotland, praying they can outrun the jilted crook who seeks Hettie's hand and her fortune. But ahead of them lies their greatest obstacle yet … and one unexpected-and damnably inconvenient-attraction that will turn both their worlds upside down.
