McAlistair's fortune

the long version

"To Miss Evie Cole, ignorance was never bliss. That principle had driven her to become quite adept at a most unladylike pursuit--eavesdropping. And it was while honing this skill that she heard her guardians' elaborate scheme to find her a husband. Too bad she'd vowed never to marry. At least she knew the peril they were planning to help entrap her was only pretend. What she didn't hear would change everything. James McAlistair wasn't supposed to be part of the bargain. Not only was the retired assassin dark, silent and intimidating, but Evie also happened to know from an accidental encounter on a warm, moon-drenched night that the man was an exceptional kisser. Now the danger was real. Because now Evie might fall in love."--p. [4] of cover.
