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.
