Alexandra's story — first in a new trilogy!
A lady with a flawless reputation, a lord with a scandalous past…and a love that overcomes all.
As the new Marquess of Cainewood, Griffin Chase is desperate to find husbands for his three headstrong sisters. He never thought he'd become a matchmaking mama, and his sisters aren't at all sure they appreciate his interference. But with the help of a family heirloom recipe book, they discover that cooking up a little magic can be seductive…
Ever the perfect lady, Alexandra Chase has always done what was expected of her. But when Tristan Nesbitt, Lord Hawkridge—the man she's loved since she was a girl—returns from abroad, she suddenly has every intention of shirking duty by not marrying the man her brother has picked for her. And she's certain her wild impulse is right…until Tristan promptly informs her he'll never take her for his wife.
When he last saw lovely Alexandra, Tristan was a common man with no hopes of ever wedding the daughter of a marquess. Seven years later, he possesses a prestigious title, but a horrid scandal has followed him back to England—one that virtually guarantees that Alexandra can never be his. Now he must fight his darkest desires and steer clear of the irresistible beauty who long ago captured his heart…or else risk ruining her flawless reputation.
