Heaven Sent the Wrong One (Heirs of Cornwall, #2)

Allayne Carlyle, only son and heir of Viscount Carlyle, is in a snit. All of his friends are happily married, and his mother wishes the same for him. But Allayne is in no hurry. He is wealthy, handsome and free. Why would he want to get leg-shackled, when women buzz around him like bees?

Lady Alexandra Davenport, only daughter of the Earl of Weston, is likewise thinking along the same thoughts. She has been cleverly avoiding the matrimonial noose, but now that her twenty-fifth birthday has come around, her father finally put his foot down. But Alexandra is in no hurry. She is beautiful, wealthy and free. Why would she want to marry some wretched man who would take her money, when she could have more fun with clandestine coquetry?

Unbeknownst to our hero and heroine, their parents have been scheming. What will happen when these two stubborn personalities collide? Will they chase each other with a hatchet, or will the sparks fly? Join Allayne and Alexandra, as they conquer the mystery of that little word they've been trying their damndest to avoid: Love. And so the story begins.
