Merry Stewart is known to be a shrew. She has to be, to deal with her drunken father and brothers. She awaits the day her betrothed would come and take her away. She dreams of having a home where she wouldn't have to constantly take care of drunks, or hide in fear of being abused, of finally having the happiness she longed for...until she meets her groom.
An unfortunate misunderstanding has Merry thinking that Alexander d'Aumesbery is no different than the men in her family. But Alex is eager to prove her wrong, for he's fallen in love with the Stewart Shrew. He's ready to tame his beautiful bride and convince her to give their love a chance...if only someone wasn't trying to kill him.
