Lady Chastity Fairfax is a young noble woman who finds the restrictions of her life in England nearly impossible to stomach. It is 1908, and she both envies the freedom that the men around her enjoy and resents them for the control they hold over her own life. Desperate to become independent and free from the loathsome betrothal her father has arranged for her, Chastity boards the Mauritania to start fresh on the ranch of her brother in Texas. Aboard the Mauritania, and in the guise of a young man, Chase meets the handsome Colton Webb. Her initial attraction to his raw masculinity turns to disgust when she becomes privy to his chauvinistic philosophy of relationships between men and women. And when she learns that he is both her brother's neighbor and rival, she shrewdly vows to punish Webb...by making him fall in love with her. For all her schemes, Lady Chastity hadn't planned on the passion she'd feel for Webb. And she is devastated to realize that if she follows her own heart, she must give up her independence and succumb to the repugnant institution of marriage.
