When Hydee answers the ad placed by Marques Carlos de Alva Manrique, she expects to be taken on as a governess and nursemaid to his two children. But when the darkly handsome Marques makes a surprising alternative proposal--that she become his wife instead--Hydee could not be more shocked. She barely knows the man, but she finds herself undeniably drawn to him. Will she deny his proposal, or will his searing caresses draw her into a life she never could have imagined?
