Lady Priscilla is in trouble… When a cousin she didn’t even know existed inherits her father’s title, the new Earl of Purlington wants more than just the earldom, he want’s Priscilla too. Or at least, her dowry. What she needs is a hero. A man to swoop in and save her despite her cousin’s intimidating lurking.

Why do they threaten to defrost now? And worse yet, what will he do if he loses the battle for Priscilla’s hand and heart?
