Still recovering from a past romantic scandal, Phoebe now faces the additional challenge of competing with her two cousins for the same inheritance—and possibly the same suitors. Her quest takes an intriguing turn when she meets the irresistibly handsome and charming Rafe Marbrook. Excitement builds when Phoebe receives a proposal from the Marquis of Brookhaven, believing Rafe, who is destined to become a duke, has asked for her hand in marriage. However, she soon discovers the proposal is actually from Calder, Rafe’s older and less captivating brother. Standing at the crossroads of another potential scandal, Phoebe must decide: Marry Calder for his title and wealth, or follow her heart, knowing it could lead to even more trouble?
