Publisher's Synopsis
BlurbGregory Lockwood is a man tormented by the thought of falling in love. After realizing that he cannot continue to run away from his fear, he decides that he needs to abandon the notion of love altogether, and pursue a marriage that will keep him from thoughts he deems frivolous. Catherine Archer is the exact opposite; a romantic who envisions meeting her one true love and living happily ever after, she is soon challenged by the realities of life, and finds that one must make do with what one has. When Gregory and Catherine meet, their attraction for each other is undeniable, though they deny it by using their predetermined ideas of what is best for each other. That, however, is nothing compared to the fact that Violet, Catherine's younger sister, is expecting a proposal from Gregory, and she faces being betrayed by both the Duke and her beloved sister when finding out that they have both fallen in love.
