The last thing she expects is one of those moments: a handsome stranger, their eyes meeting across a crowded room... a tempting, but all too dangerous stranger. Her brother is marrying into the wealthy aristocracy, but this man in his rumpled tuxedo and days-old stubble doesn't seem to fit. Determined to find out more, Trudy discovers his identity, and that there are dark secrets that bind him to her brother; she also learns that he's the kind of man who always gets what he wants, and what he wants right now is Trudy.
