A proposition from a virgin! Gabriel Stone, Earl of Edenbridge, might have a rakish reputation, but he's also a gentleman–of sorts. So when respectable Lady Caroline Holt offers her maidenhood in exchange for an estate her father gambled away, his curiosity is roused. Gabriel is touched when he learns Caroline is helping her brother–he's protected his brothers all his life...and has the scars to prove it. He's willing to help her, but is shocked when his mission takes him somewhere he never thought he'd end up–down the aisle!
