If Dare thinks he can escape his fate...then he doesn't know Charlotte

Lady Charlotte Collins returns to England as a poor widow. She's eager to take her place in the ton, but is quickly shunned by all. There is only one way to redeem her good standing: find a groom with wealth, a title, and good looks.

Alasdair "Dare" McGregor is a deliciously handsome and brilliantly inventive Scottish earl who possesses all these fine attributes, but he cruelly refuses to be the answer to Charlotte's problems.

So what is she to do but take extreme measures? She'll make him fall in love with her by any means necessary, even a firearm. Can this determined lady capture his heart, or will she misfire?

And about that shooting incident...Charlotte was only trying to cheer him up.
