Emilia Gwendolyn Carrington once declared she would wed any man alive rather than the insufferable future Duke of Pindar. Years later, desperation forces her to eat those words. She needs Evander Septimus Brody now, and he knows it. Vander agrees to her marriage proposal but sets brutal terms. He will give her his name and protection, but not his heart. Their arrangement includes just four nights together each year, and only if she begs for them. Mia refuses to grovel. Yet Vander discovers that winning his own wife proves harder than any conquest he has ever attempted. He must break through her pride and his own walls to claim what matters most.
