Sandy is convinced that Isabelle is the woman for him. He only needs to convince her. Reluctant to commit due to past secrets, Isabelle must trust Sandy. I received an ARC from NetGalley and Dragonblade Publishing for my honest review.

Sandy is a Baron involved in a large family marriage wager with his grandfather and the cousins. He meets Isabelle with an attraction to her beauty and quiet demeanor. But she becomes easily agitated and anxious around men. Their romance and possible marital prospects are set aside when her stepfather returns after 3 years lost at sea and presumed dead.
They need to work through the past in order to move forward with their future.

Clearly I have been sleeping on Jenna Jaxon, because the woman knows how to bring the characters and the world to life. This was so delicious, I don't even have the words.
