Old, bald, wealthy, blind in their adoration towards her cousin, but at most annoying. It turned out that Alec Matheson fit none of those categories. He looked downright handsome, made her laugh, and was too darn sweet in the way he treated Grace. After their first disastrous meeting, Grace thought it would be best to avoid him. There would be disaster on the horizon if she fell for a man destined for her stunning cousin. When it turned out that Alec was the one in charge of organising the wedding for his father, also named Alec, Grace could relax. She could now explore her attraction for him.
