Nothing is more important to Alexandra Rubliov than her honor, and when her father makes it a matter of honor to marry a man she was betrothed to as a child, she must agree. However, Alex believes she can get out of the arrangement by disgusting her betrothed into breaking it off, never dreaming that the man would take honor as seriously as she does. Superbly handsome Vasili Petroff has no problem finding willing women, but a wife is something he isn't prepared to consider, so he decides that acting the cad should remedy the situation soon enough. With both sides declaring war and attempting to outdo each other in unlikeability, neither Vasili or Alexandra are prepared for the blinding attraction that keeps pulling them ever closer. Through deception, danger, and discovery, the two soon see each other through the eyes of love, and find that marriage could be nothing short of perfect.
