Miss Myra Astley has always known her future would include a grand love match. When she falls in love with the charming Viscount Southwood, she is certain nothing can intervene to destroy her happiness. But fate, it seems, has other plans. After a chance encounter with a fortune teller, Myra finds her hand shackled to Southwood’s infuriatingly arrogant brother, Daniel.
With every attempt to remove the shackles thwarted, there is only one solution: marriage. Forced into an unwanted union, Myra is determined to loathe her new husband, but as the days pass, she begins to see that beneath Daniel’s sharp tongue lies a man of honor, intelligence, and unexpected wit.
As passion sparks and prejudices crumble, Myra must decide: will she cling to the life she thought she wanted, or accept the man who is slowly stealing her heart?
