- Sinopse:
When a newly titled earl develops an unexpected passion for his beautiful ward, he wagers he can seduce her into accepting his proposal of marriage – a wager she's just as determined he won't win.
Marcus Pierce, a strikingly handsome aristocrat with a wicked reputation, inherits guardianship of spirited Arabella Loring and her two younger sisters – and immediately declares his intention to marry them off. But enchantingly defiant Arabella sparks frustration – and something deeply erotic – in Marcus. After matching both wits and swords with her, the possessive nobleman concludes this beautiful and formidable foe must be his.
Having sworn off marriage and men, Arabella wishes to be left alone to run her finishing school for young ladies. To that end, she boldly accepts Marcus's intimate challenge: if he can woo and win her within two weeks, she'll take her place in his bed as his wife. However, if she can resist his considerable charms, the Loring sisters will be granted their independence. Thus an extraordinary game of seduction begins....

Quando o recente entitulado Conde desenvolve uma inesperada paixão por sua bela protegida, ele aposta que pode seduzí-la a ponto de que ela aceite sua proposta de casamento – uma aposta a qual ela está determinada que ele não vença.
Marcus Pierce, um notável e charmoso aristocrata com uma reputação pecaminosa, herda a guarda da espirituosa Arabella Loring e de suas duas irmãs mais novas – e imediatamente declara sua intenção de casá-las. Mas encantadoramente provocante, Arabella causa frustação – e alguma coisa profundamente erótica – em Marcus. Depois de discutir com ela, o possessivo nobre conclui que essa bela e formidável inimiga deve ser dele.
Tendo jurado nunca se casar, Arabella deseja ficar sozinha para seguir e terminar sua escola para jovens moças. Com esse propósito, ela corajosamente aceita o intimato de Marcus, desafiando-o: se ele puder cortejá-la e vencê-la dentro de duas semanas, ela tomará seu lugar em sua cama e como sua mulher. Entretanto, se ela puder resistir a seu grandioso charme, suas irmãs Loring ganharão sua independência. Deste modo, um extrordinário jogo de sedução se inicia...
