    About this series

    USA Today Bestseller

    Your presence is requested at romantic Twill Castle for the wedding of Miss Clio Whitmore and . . . and . . . ?

    After eight years of waiting for Piers Brandon, the wandering Marquess of Granville, to set a wedding date, Clio Whitmore has had enough. She's inherited a castle, scraped together some pride, and made plans to break her engagement.

    Not if Rafe Brandon can help it. A ruthless prizefighter and notorious rake, Rafe is determined that Clio will marry his brother—even if he has to plan the dratted wedding himself.

    So how does a hardened fighter cure a reluctant bride's cold feet?

    • He starts with flowers. Ladies can't have too many flowers. Or harps. Or cakes.
    • He lets her know she'll make a beautiful, desirable bride— and tries not to picture her as his.
    • He doesn't kiss her.
    • If he kisses her, he definitely doesn't kiss her again.
    • When all else fails, he puts her in a stunning gown and vows not to be nearby when the gown comes off.
    • And no matter what—he doesn't fall in disastrous, hopeless love with the one woman he can never call his own.

      As the daughter of a famed author, Isolde Ophelia Goodnight grew up on tales of brave knights and fair maidens. She never doubted romance would be in her future, too. The storybooks offered endless possibilities. And as she grew older, Izzy crossed them off. One by one by one. Ugly duckling turned swan?　 Abducted by handsome highwayman?　 Rescued from drudgery by charming prince? No, no, and . . . Heh. Now Izzy’s given up yearning for romance. She’ll settle for a roof over her head. What fairy tales are left over for an impoverished twenty-six year-old woman who’s never even been kissed? This one.
