Emily Haddington had not recovered from the heartbreak and embarrassment of being jilted by the man of her dreams. She was the daughter of a clergyman and marrying the wealthy, handsome, and desirable Hugh Warren. She could not wait to be his wife!
All of a sudden, he threw her over for another. A woman with a title and a large dowry seemed to be more his style than a clergyman's daughter. It had been a year and Emily was still seething in distress. She was certain she would never love again. If she had her way, she would never marry.
Alexander Knight was a self made man. He had excelled in school and made good connections. His desire was to live a happy life with conveniences and style. He was meeting his goal.
But there was more to Alexander than Emily could see. He seemed arrogant and self-centered. She had already had that kind of man in her life and she was not going to have another.
Alexander knew a good woman when he met her. It would take persistence and a little luck, but maybe he would win her. If only that hard shell would fall away. How would Emily see the error of her ways? Could she ever give another man a chance at her heart?
