Parth Sterling enjoys his reputation as England's most eligible bachelor until Lavinia Gray shocks him with an audacious marriage proposal. He plans to marry eventually, but certainly not to a flighty woman obsessed with ribbons and frills. After politely declining her offer, Parth promises to help Lavinia find a wealthy husband instead. The task should prove simple enough, since despite her apparent frivolity, Lavinia possesses considerable charms. Yet as Parth sets about matchmaking, those very qualities that initially repelled him begin to stir unexpected feelings. His careful plans unravel as he discovers there may be more to the seemingly shallow Miss Gray than meets the eye, forcing him to question everything he thought he wanted in a wife.
