    Summary

    Disarmingly gorgeous and audaciously daring American heir Samuel Thomas Wilson is facing a dilemma. To his father’s will, he must secure a match by the end of his fifth season in London, or he will be forced into a fate worse than death—marrying James “Bucky” Barnes.

    Sam is furious, rightfully so. But Sam is also a Wilson, and Wilsons are nothing if not resilient, stubborn, forever refusing to accept defeat. Thus, Sam comes up with a plan—finds a man, charms that man to heaven and back, has him drop down to his knees and beg for Sam’s hand before the leaves turn golden.

    What Sam doesn’t count on, however, is for a little mystery to fall into his lap, enticing him so. He certainly doesn’t expect James “Buchanan? You jest!” Barnes to strong-arm his way into Sam’s quest, refusing to leave.

    Sam can never, not in a million years, fathom all the strange ways his body begins to (mis)behave in the vicinity of James “you can’t call me Buck” Barnes, how his pulse starts to quicken, how his core throbs, his soul burns.

    Nevertheless, as they often do, Sam’s plan will soon come to fruition, and with it, the ruination of his heart.
