CHRISTINE DANSBY never wanted marriage. While love and passion certainly seem appealing, they more often than not burn out, turning into resentment and animosity. No, Christine definitely doesn’t want marriage. Love and passion without marriage however…
Indeed, there’s one man in Christine’s life whose overbearing attitude and maddening opinions have never failed to make her heart beat faster. The moment they step into the same room, they cannot help but snap at one another, and yet, the fire in his blue eyes makes her seek his presence again and again. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, Christine delights in the fact that he wants marriage even less than she does. Does that not make him utterly perfect for her?
WESLEY EVERETT, brother to the EARL OF HARRINGTON, never wanted marriage…at least not until he meets his new sister-in-law’s sister. Although every word to leave Christine’s mouth riles him, Wesley cannot stop thinking about her. Passionate and headstrong, she is a far cry from the dull misses who seek his attention, hoping for a proposal. Awed by her daring spirit, Wesley finally realizes that he cannot allow her to disappear from his life again.
And so he proposes…and she says ‘no’, ready with a proposal of her own. One he can never accept.
