Escaping to London, she hoped her guardian's son, Harry, would agree to her desperate and unorthodox plan in an effort to keep her safe from harm. Headstrong, intelligent and beautiful, Harry couldn't deny his physical reaction to the dark-haired beauty. He was thoroughly amused as she captivated London society. Although he immediately refused and was angered by her absurd scheme, Harry's protective instincts eventually drove him to agree to her ridiculous plan but only under very strict conditions.
