Sir Malcolm may have survived fourteen years in the wilderness...but is he strong enough to withstand the force of nature that is Lady Augusta Cherrill?

Lady Augusta Cherrill is hurtling toward spinsterhood faster than her feet can keep up. When she takes a spectacular tumble down the grand staircase at the Season's most glittering affair, Gussie is stunned to find herself rescued by a dashing, utterly inappropriate stranger?a man with a roguish grin that promises adventure.

Sir Malcolm Sharpe is a brooding, rugged Scottish fur trader who has returned from the wilds of the Canadian frontier with a fortune in his pockets and a fierce determination to carve out his place in the world.

Malcolm is enchanted by Gussie's plucky sense of humor but fears that the only sister of the Duke of St. Lawrence deserves better than a barely-tamed baronet.

Can this unlikely pair defy the odds and discover that true romance isn't about fitting in?it's about daring to stand out together?
