PLEASE NOTE: This book may have an alternate cover. The following description is a guide only and may contain text that is not specific to this item. ...Jamie Montgomery is hired by Perkin Maidenhall to escort his daughter safely across Europe so that she may be married. It seems like a simple task, until Jamie's sisters Berengaria and Joby come up with their own plan. Despite several titles, Jamie is not a wealthy man and his family is suffering. Berengaria and Joby know that any woman would be attracted to the beautiful Jamie-- and they think he should get the Maidenhall heiress to fall in love with him. Once married, Jamie will be a wealthy man and able to support his family. Jamie protests, but with two determined sisters and his own pride undermining him, he agrees to their plan and sets out to win the heiress. Axia Maidenhall has lived all her life isolated and protected from the outside world. Men are constantly asking for her hand in marriage-- not because she is beautiful but because she is the Maidenhall heiress. Now, as her wedding to a man she's never met approaches, she finds herself longing for a small taste of freedom-- to be able to be herself, loved or hated for who she is and not for how much money she has. When Jamie mistakes her beautiful, well dressed cousin Frances for the heiress, Axia convinces Frances to go along with her plan. For the duration of their journey, Frances will be the Maidenhall heiress and Axia will be her poor cousin. It's a perfect plan-- but she doesn't count on falling in love with Jamie. Pretending to be someone she isn't is more difficult than Axia anticipated.
