Rafe Ramsey, son of the recently deceased Earl of Axbridge, does not believe in love. However, this does not mean that just for the sake of procreation, he is ready to voluntarily agree to a marriage of convenience arranged by his relatives. Yielding to an impulse, he undertakes to find the missing granddaughter of a rich lady and sets off to distant lands. In Egypt, he finds not a frightened young girl at all, but a beautiful woman who is hiding from something much more dangerous than an unwanted engagement... Aisha, who has lived on the streets for six years and has long lost her childhood naivety and gullibility, knows how to protect herself from men. However, she finds herself powerless against Rafe's tricks... and his kisses. And soon, together with Rafe, she sails to England towards a new life and a new family. But the dark secrets of Aisha's past threaten to destroy them both. And Rafe will have to choose between the beliefs of his life and love.
