Alexandra Mountbatten er noget så usædvanligt som en kvinde med en profession; hun stiller urene i fornemme huse, så de går korrekt. Og det er netop med denne opgave for øje, at hun indfinder hos den notoriske skørtejæger og hertug Chase Reynard. Det er bestemt ikke for at søge den ledige stilling som guvernante for de to uopdragne piger, han er værge for. Men pigerne har en særlig evne til at få guvernanter til at søge ansættelse andre steder, så Chase er desperat – og ikke ét sekund i tvivl om, at den viljestærke Alexandra er den rette kvinde til jobbet. Derfor han giver hende et tilbud, hun ikke kan takke nej til.Som enhver libertiner med respekt for sig selv lever Chase efter én regel: ingen faste forhold. Og der skal mere end en stædig guvernante til at tæmme ham.Men Alexandra er så meget mere, end han regnede med: intelligent, direkte og fuld af lidenskab. Og helt og aldeles uvillig til at afskrive ham som den håbløse tølper, han er i alle andres øjne.Snart smuldrer murerne omkring Chases hjerte, men hvor meget kan et menneske for alvor ændre sig? Og tør han falde for Alexandra og risikere sit hjerte?"Jeg elsker hendes bøger." – JODI PICOULT“Genial humor, glødende passion og gnistrende dialog." – LIBRARY JOURNAL“Siderne i denne tempofyldte bog er fyldt med passion og vittige dialoger, og prikken over i’et er de velskrevne karakterer og små antydninger af, hvad serien fremover byder på.” – PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
