After watching her two sisters fall in love and marry, courtesan Julia Comerford is ready to get out of the life. She thinks the best way to do it is to marry her current protector, a viscount whose sweet words are everything she longs to hear. Only one problem: he has a serious, nosy and entirely too attractive younger brother who is trying to tear them apart.

Despite being the younger brother, Alexander has been trying to clean up his sibling’s messes for years. This engagement to an infamous courtesan is just the latest. Only the more he gets to know Julia, the more he sees her for the irresistible, intelligent person she is. And the most he realizes that it isn’t his brother who needs to be saved from her…but her who needs to be saved from his brother.

As the engagement falls apart, the anger and passion between these two opposites bubbles over, leading to a passion that is as unexpected as it is explosive. But there are going to be consequences to what Alexander has done. And it may only be Julia who can save him in the end.
