Julia seeks out Robbie McCray, womanizer and master fighter to protect her by marrying her. She believes her cousin, to whom she was sort of betrothed, murdered her father and brother and that logically, to get her inheritance, she might be next.
This story requires a bit of suspension of disbelief, that a rake like Robbie would be romantic and willing to marry, given that he is a walking STD. But that aside, the story itself is pretty good in isolation. Yes, it's more erotica than traditional romance and yes, some of the characters are a little wooden and stereotypical.
SPOILERS for a previous story here: I rather wish that I had read this as a stand alone, but knowledge of the previous story rather ruins Robbie for me. In the previous story, Robbie claimed to be so in love with his cousin's "woman" that he eagerly took the opportunity to have sex with her for an hour when his cousin offered. In this story, Robbie never once mentions or thinks about how much he supposedly loved Leanna. He seems well and truly over her and his love for her doesn't seem to affect him anymore. So I'm rather disappointed in his character then that he would so casually risk his cousin's happiness and possible future marriage just to shag his future sister-in-law.

Surprisingly well written for a short erotic romance - the plot is developed and not just a backdrop for sex, the characters are likeable, the setting seems real. Unfortunately, however, the story is short enough that a few of the characters come off as stereotypes - the typical scheming villainess, for example, and her weak sniveling brother - but that is almost to be expected.
