On the eve of her wedding, Charlotte realizes that the Greek tycoon she loves and plans to spend the rest of her life with doesn't know her at all. Worse, he expects her to be something she's not. He doesn't just want a wife, he wants a society hostess and for this introvert, that sounds more like torture than wedded bliss.

Alastair doesn't understand why Charlotte called off the wedding and he's still smarting from the humiliation of being the center of the media frenzy and the butt of his family's jokes. Nevertheless, he's determined to marry the woman that got away and just like any good takeover, he's stacked the deck in his favor.
