She charged to bring several rich American girls to England to find them titled husbands.

Grant had never met a woman more irritating ... or more desirable. Love was a greater risk than any storm at sea, but ultimately Grant couldn't resist the challenge of proving to Patience that independence was nothing to a lifetime of passion...
