While Jackson MacIntyre was lying in his bed, delirious from fever, his younger brother, Lucas, was busy conspiring against him. So when Jackson awakes he finds a headstrong beauty named Molly Malone in his house...claiming to be his wife! Sure, he understands why Lucas did such an underhanded thing—their uncle left them in quite a bind—but he refuses to be married again...and no inheritance is enough to change his mind on the matter.
