His favorite uncle has been murdered, and he's promised vengeance on the killer, a mad alchemist intent on perfecting the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.

He then made a jest that he would seek his next wife at an agency that specialized in paid companions. A year later St. Merryn is now one of London's most eligible bachelors and he finds himself in an agency looking for a paid companion, This paid companion isn't just going to be hired for companionship, she is going to pose as his fiancée to keep the women off his back.
