Until she discovers why he's that way, with experiences so like her own she can't help but fall for him. Yet Louisa cannot let him closer unless he knows the truth of her past...but telling him risks losing everything!

A panicked escape ...ends in a surprising proposal! One of The Irresistible Dukes. Evan Bellwether, Duke of Fallon, is stunned when Madeline Goddard takes a tumble attempting to flee a ball...and accidentally falls onto him! But that's the least of the Duke's worries when the compromising situation forces them somewhere he doesn't want to be--at the altar! At first his new bride appears painfully shy. But could the key to discovering the real Maddie lie with unlocking the passion of their marriage?

Książę Benedict często odwiedza słynną salę balową w nadziei, że wreszcie pozna pannę, którą chciałby uczynić swoją księżną. Gdy zaczyna upadać na duchu, w drzwiach staje Abigail Prescott. Nieważne, że jej ojciec to hazardzista, a matka pochodzi z pospólstwa. Benedict jest pewien, że właśnie z Abigail pragnie spędzić resztę życia. Po szybkich oświadczynach zostaje wyznaczona data ślubu, ale zamiast zjawić się w kościele, Abigail zrywa zaręczyny bez podania przyczyn. Spotykają się ponownie po trzech miesiącach. Okoliczności sprawiają, że przez kilka dni są skazani na swoje towarzystwo. Książę nie dba o plotki i jawnie adoruje dawną narzeczoną, zupełnie jakby puścił w niepamięć upokorzenie. Jest szczery czy planuje zemstę?
