Lucien Balfour, Earl of Kilcairn just inherited his aunt and cousin (whom he despised) and the only way of getting them out of the picture is to have his cousin married and they only way that's going to happen is with the help of Alexandra Gallant, a women who has captured Luciens attention like no one else has and he wants her and the challenge with that will only enhance his desire for her.
Alexandra Gallant has no idea who's house she enters until he walks in and announces that she hired and that in its self makes her worried, for Lucien Balfour is one handsome man and thats something Alexandra can't have around her for it brings temptaion upon her life and she can afford another scandal, but the more she resistes the more Lucien advances and she can only take so much until she breaks. Yet that maybe the best thing that has happened in her life in a long time.
As the lessons in helping Lucien's cousin build so does their desire for each other and in no time at all things might change from Lucien's cousin marraige to his.
