Least of all one determined to win her heartâĻ
Lady Cassandra has no desire to marry. But when Captain Devlin Crawford brings scandal to her doorstep and offers salvation, she cannot say no. Not with her daughterâs future at stake. So she decides to accept Devlinâs offer, provided he agrees to never being intimate with her. For although Cassandra is drawn to Devlin, she refuses to dishonor the memory of her one true love.
Devlin knows heâs made a mess, but now that itâs done, marrying Cassandra doesnât seem like the worst idea in the world. Far from it, though it will take serious effort on his part to convince her of this. Especially since sheâs never stopped mourning the man she was meant to marry over a decade ago. So once they set off on a grand ocean voyage, Devlin embarks on his greatest adventure yet â the wooing of his wife.
