How could I, Maggie Delaney, have been duped? Swept off my feet and married to a man who lied about his name, I now find myself with no money and an infant son. But I have found the owner of my husband's false name: Acptain John Grayson, a soldier, a hero, and a man of means. He doesn't believe my story, but his cousins, of big hearts and little suspicion, are eager to accept his new "wife" and make me a lady. How can I, a woman on the brink of ruin, refuse?

Does she take me, Captain John Grayson, for a fool...easily reeled in by her beauty and willing to go along with her charade? When she first came to me with her preposterous claims, I did my gentlemanly duty. I paid her degts and took no advantage of her. Now I find her and her son at my ancestral home, beloved by all. I could easily throw her out, but her fierce pride and smoldering eyes tempt me to keep her...and make her my wife both in my heart and my bed.
