Potrei avere qualsiasi ragazza desideri. Ma io voglio solo te… Lex e Ian sono amici da sempre. Si sono iscritti al college insieme e insieme hanno fondato la Wingmen, un’agenzia che aiuta le donne a conquistare l’anima gemella. Gli affari vanno così bene che hanno deciso di assumere una persona e offrire lo stesso servizio di consulenza anche agli uomini. Con gran disappunto di Lex, la scelta è caduta su Gabi, la migliore amica di Ian, cui servono soldi per pagarsi gli studi. Lex odia Gabi… o almeno ci prova. L’odio, infatti, è l’unica arma che conosce per difendersi dal suo fascino innocente, dai suoi enormi occhi verdi e dal suo sorriso mozzafiato. E, ora che deve lavorare con lei tutti i giorni, Lex ha bisogno di un’armatura, perché sa che, se solo provasse ad avvicinarsi a Gabi, Ian non glielo perdonerebbe mai… Gabi è disperata, ecco perché ha accettato il posto alla Wingmen. Altrimenti si sarebbe tenuta alla larga da Lex. C’era stato un momento in cui Gabi aveva pensato di aver trovato in lui uno spirito affine, ma poi lui l’aveva rifiutata, spezzandole il cuore. Adesso lei lo odia. Odia il suo sorriso seducente, il suo fisico da atleta e l’umorismo disarmante. Soprattutto, odia il modo in cui il cuore batte più forte non appena Lex si avvicina e il vuoto che prova quando lui se ne va. In questi anni, l’unico antidoto è stata la lontananza. Adesso che sono costretti a convivere, Gabi teme che il fuoco sopito sotto la cenere torni a divampare, rischiando di bruciarla. Per fortuna pure lui la odia…

"I release you..." were the last words Rosalind remembered before her world went black. Stefan, the future duke of Montmouth, no doubt thought his words were welcomed, but he couldn''t have been more wrong. Oh, he was handsome as a Norse god, but that was unimportant when her life, as well as those of her family, hung in the balance. With less than six weeks left, Rosalind has stopped believing in the fairy tale, the prince on the white horse, and the stolen kiss that would awaken her from her worst nightmares. Resigned to her fate, she waits for the inevitable curse to run its course. "We must marry at once!" Stefan declared, fully expecting Rosalind to be delighted that he had come to save her, but he was sorely mistaken.

Stefan found himself thankful for the curse that required him marry her, thankful for the betrothal contract he had so recently tried to release her from...With the fortitude of a sailor shipwrecked, abandoned, and a solider warring for his life, Stefan decides to lay siege to the greatest prize, Rosalind''s heart.
