He's determined to have her - at any price.

After her only Season was ruined, Cora Wilder embraced the freedom that comes with being a confirmed spinster. But her enviable life comes to a crashing halt the day her brother loses everything in a bank run, and the only way she can save her family is to marry a man she loathes.

Gideon Wentworth may have gone too far, once upon a time. But he sees potential in Cora Wilder. She's the kind of woman who could take the ton by storm...if she turned her attention from rabble-rousing to becoming a proper lady. Now that he has her in his bed, he's determined to mold her into a wife he can be proud of.

But Cora is equally determined. Her starchy, stoic husband is not what she expected. And if she's going to be bound to him by vows, she will find a way to break through his rigid rules. She is surprised to discover the man has a heart...and winning it becomes her new challenge.
