To the dismay of his daughter Eve, Lord Somerville bequeathed his property to his business partner, Marcus Fitzalan. However, Marcus will only inherit it on one condition-he must marry Eve. Eve can hardly believe her father has sold her into the arms of a man she despises, a man who ruined her reputation three years ago! But the attraction between Eve and Marcus cannot be denied, and soon Marcus convinces Eve to agree to a marriage of convenience for the sake of the inheritance. Will their marriage-in-name-only ever blossom to one of love?
