Like all the Bedwyns, Aidan has a reputation for being arrogant. But this proud nobleman also has a loyal and passionate heart—and it is his loyalty that leads him to Ringwood Manor, where he intends to honor the last request of a fallen comrade-in-arms. Aidan promised to comfort and protect the sister of the deceased soldier, but he never expected to encounter a woman like Eve Morris. She is stubborn and fiercely independent and does not want his protection. Unexpectedly, this awakens long-repressed feelings in him. His chance to act on them arises when a cruel relative threatens to evict Eve from her own home. Aidan then makes her an offer she cannot refuse: marriage, which is the only chance to save the family home. The young woman agrees to the plan. And now, as all of London's high society watches the new Lady Aidan Bedwyn, the unexpected happens: with a bolder touch, a hotter embrace, and a more intense exchange of glances, Aidan and Eve's "marriage of convenience" is about to turn into something slightly different.
