Due to a clause in her father€s will, Lily has until Christmas to find a husband. Having yet to find a single man she would ever consider marrying after six failed seasons, she fears all hope is lost€¦ until she meets the mysterious, insufferable, and oh so handsome Captain James Rigby.
Recently returned and still recovering from the bloody battlefields of war, James is missing an arm and, it would seem, a heart. The last thing on the embittered soldier€s mind is marriage, especially to Lily Kincaid, a woman who is as infuriatingly stubborn as she is beautiful.
