Woman Alexandra MacIntyre has made up her mind. Having grown up in near poverty, she”s marrying for money-a lot of money-and she’ll do anything to accomplish her goal…also get herself caught in a reducing situation by her overprotective and smugly conventional-although achingly handsome-new stepbrother, Lord Evan Xavier.

Evan, the second son from the Earl of Brighton, considers Alexandra an authentic pain in his arse. She”s gorgeous, yes, but also headstrong and without social graces and respect for expert. Unfortunately, while his dad and her mother are away on the wedding trip, she actually is his responsibility. When she announces her plan to travel to London, he does not have any choice but to go along as her protector.

When the two are stranded after a carriage accident, circumstances spiral out of control, and the heat between them can’t be rejected. Rescue is on its way, but Alexandra still provides her own agenda…
