Her family is on the brink of financial ruin, and it is up her to save her mother and sisters from a life of indignities. Alexander can’t help but be intrigued by the woman declaring herself to be his betrothed, and it’s the first thing that’s intrigued him in quite a while.

When the Duke, Alexander, reads about his supposed engagement in the paper, he’s more intrigued than angry.
