Duchess Arielle Laurent has given up on suitors. Ever since the incident four years ago with her last suitor, she wants nothing more to do with men. What happens when her meddlesome aunt decides it's time for a little intervention? Will she play along?

Prince Edward is often fawned over in court by ladies of every status. He tries to be polite, but he would much rather be in his private study reading poetry. What happens when a certain aloof duchess catches his eye?  How will he react when he finds out she's receiving suitors?

Two people that have given up on finding their perfect mate soon discover that not every potential match turns into a disaster. With help, they will learn that not everyone has hidden motives, and the love they have for one another is not a pretense.

He furrowed his eyes and softly detached her hands that were roaming around his chest and face. "Yes, your eyes. This way, they are very pretty," she said in a whisper and gazed up at him in an entranced, drunken gaze. Ben suddenly felt heated and he distracted himself by saying, "What do my eyes usually look like?" She laughed once. And then twice before seriously saying, "Murderers." "My eyes looked like murderers?" He chuckled nervously to hide his confusion. "They still look like murderers," she said and caressed his eyelids. "But they're prettier." ©
