All she wants is to marry for love... Della Rowntree has always longed for a marriage like her parents', one that is filled with happiness and love. Yet, she questions whether her choice to marry for love means she will be forever labeled a spinster, as the only man she has ever desired will soon announce his engagement to another.For him, love is out of the question... The Duke of Exeter, Royce Derrington, witnessed his mother's heartache at his father's passing and decided that marrying for love was foolish. Why would someone subject themselves to an emotion that would only destroy them when they lost it? That question made his soon-to-be-announced engagement the only way to prevent that from happening. But everything changes when he stumbles upon a final request from his late father. Potentially ruining his carefully thought-out plans. We do not choose who we love-Love chooses us... Feeling the weight of his father's last request on his shoulders, Royce is still determined to follow through with his engagement. But when emotions run high, he wonders if perhaps his father had been correct... ... what we think we want is not always what we need.
