About the book
"Do you realize what you're turning down?" Chase Marshall's question was arrogant. He obviously thought that just because he was rich and handsome no girl in her right mind could refuse to marry him. But Alex had struggled against a matchmaking mother for the right to lead her own life. And that didn't include marriage, especially to someone who boasted that he always got his own way. It was time someone said no to Chase Marshall - and meant it.
