If she can stay alive until it comes due, that is. Paramount to this success is first escaping the evil clutches of her dreadful uncle. To that end, Olive must do the unthinkable and the most outrageous: propose marriage to a man!Only a scoundrel will do . . .Everyone who's anyone knows the dark, dangerous reputation of the new earl of Emberton, Captain Rafe Daley. Sensible maidens run from him as fast as they can. Most gasp. Some faint. They most definitely do not offer him their hand in marriage with wide, beguiling eyes, and a pretty smile. Yet this bewitching temptress is doing just that. With an impoverished earldom left in his care and his late brother's debts insurmountable, Rafe cannot afford to refuse. But, the chit best know one thing: his heart will never be owned.Olive chose the one man she knows can keep her safe, but not even Rafe can protect her from her own unpredictable heart. The blasted thing has decided to fall in love with him. Clearly, the only sensible recourse is to make the scoundrel fall hopelessly in love with her, too. So easy, yes?
