Heiress Henrietta Monfort would never do anything to hurt her beloved aunt and uncle. But thanks to her cousinβwhoβs discovered a secret about her parentage that even she didnβt knowβshe is moments away from ruin ... unless she marries him. Hettie has no choice. She must accept the
villainous snakeβs 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 sheβs being blackmailed into marriage is nothing short of appallingly outrageous. How could he allow someone unworthy to marry the gentle-hearted and bright-eyed Hettieβlet alone a blaggard of the lowest order? To hell with it.
Heβll marry her himself ... even if it is the scandal of the season.
Now theyβre racing for Scotland, praying they can outrun the jilted crook who seeks Hettieβs hand and her fortune. But ahead of them lies their greatest obstacle yet ... and one unexpectedβand damnably inconvenientβattraction that will turn both their worlds upside down.
