  <default-description>Meet the Bedwyns&amp;#8230;six brothers and sisters--men and women of passion and privilege, daring and sensuality&amp;#8230;Enter their dazzling world of high society and breathtaking seduction&amp;#8230;where each will seek love, fight temptation, and court scandal&amp;#8230;and where Aidan Bedwyn, the marriage-shy second son, discovers that matrimony may be the most seductive act of all.&amp;#8230;

Like all the Bedwyn men, Aidan has a reputation for cool arrogance.  But this proud nobleman also possesses a loyal, passionate heart--and it is this fierce loyalty that has brought Colonel Lord Aidan to Ringwood Manor to honor a dying soldier's request.  Having promised to comfort and protect the man's sister, Aidan never expected to find a headstrong, fiercely independent woman who wants no part of his protection&amp;#8230;nor did he expect the feelings this beguiling creature would ignite in his guarded heart. And when a relative threatens to turn Eve out of her home, Aidan gallantly makes her an offer she can't refuse: marry him&amp;#8230;if only to save her home.  And now, as all of London breathlessly awaits the transformation of the new Lady Aidan Bedwyn, the strangest thing happens: With one touch, one searing embrace, Aidan and Eve's &amp;#8220;business arrangement&amp;#8221; is about to be transformed&amp;#8230;into something slightly surprising...</default-description>
