Meet the gentlemen of the Bastion Club . . . The Earl of Crowhurst recklessly swears he'll marry the next woman to cross his path, never expecting he'd have to fulfill this pledge-until he meets his beautiful neighbor Madeline Gascoigne. Years of secret service to the Crown had taught Crowhurst to always have a loophole, so he vows that the marriage will not take place if he and Madeline aren't compatible in every way. He aims to prove they are a dreadful match . . . but the moment they kiss, he realizes that the fire between them will burn long beyond that first seduction.
