Cortland DeWitt is the most infamous second son in England. Twin to a duke, he thankfully lost out on the ducal title by a mere three minute's grace. And he's never looked back, living his life with one rule and one rule only: no attachments. But to Alexandra Mountbatten, the fearless woman who's known him since childhood, Cort is merely the loathsome boy next door. What happens when she realizes he's grown into an intelligent, stunning, stubborn man? One. She. Wants. An independent countess seeking one night of passion. A forbidding man determined to ignore her. A tempestuous gamble on love. Come along on this slow burn, enemies-to-lovers, sorta second chance romp! Please note that the heat level is red hot!
