Book Overview

Just shy of six feet tall, Clarissa Carter would tower above most suitors - if she had any. Yet marriage is the last thing on her mind, since Marcus Ridley - viscount of Fairfax and the only man she'll ever love - is well beyond her station. Despite her height, Clarissa is well on her way to becoming a beauty, but she's perfectly aware that as a steward's daughter, she's hardly a suitable match for Marcus...Marcus is far too handsome - and eligible - for his own good.

The viscount cannot get her out of his mind...and now the once love-shy lord will do anything to make the steward's daughter his wife.
