Lady Alexandra Hobbs, the daughter of the Duke of Huntley, has intended to marry Lord Owen Monroe since she first glimpsed him from the window of her bedchamber, back when she was just a girl. But the duke has already chosen Alexs infamously spoiled elder sister, Lavinia, for Owen. And now theres no turning back. Owen has spent most of his bachelor years drinking, gambling, and skirt-chasing. He wont see another pound from his parents, however, until hes engaged to Lavinia. Desperate, he accepts an offer from her innocent and spirited--and absolutely beautiful--sister Alex: She will turn him into a perfectly tamed suitor, and show him how to woo the shrew. But when Alexs true motives come to light, will their bargain lead to recriminationsor to a romance that defies everyones expectations?
