Who will be the last unmarried man standing?
No man in his right mind would want to get married, but every duke, earl, and viscount
knows that a fellow must do his duty in the end. So four of London's most desirable
gentlemen make a wager—the prize going to the one who remains unwed the longest.
Gideon Pearsall, Viscount Warton, thinks he has a fair shot at winning. After all, he's
managed to enjoy the favors of many a lady while resisting the parson's noose. Even when
he's stopped dead in his tracks by the most scandalous woman in all of London — Judith,
Lady Chester — he vows to have her bedded but never wedded.
Beautiful, and more than a little bit naughty, Judith has always kept herself within the
bounds of respectability, even while playing by her own rules. And the experience has
taught her to avoid marriage. She has no desire to resist Warton's hot kisses, and his
tempting touch is impossible to ignore.
But soon both Judith and Gideon can't help but wonder ... is it possible to be a little
bit wicked and still follow your heart? — from the publisher
The rich characters in this first installment of Alexander's "Last Man Standing" series

Distressed over the current widespread disinterest inmatrimony among their eminently
marriageable offspring, the formidable matriarchs of the ton have taken matters into
their own meddling hands with the formation of The Ladies' Society for the Betterment
of the Future of Britain. Their first challenge: the Earl of Pennington.
Miss Gwendolyn Townsend has seen her late father's estate go to a distant cousin she
can't abide ... leaving her well-educated, able to make a perfect curtsy —
and penniless. So imagine her shock when it's discovered that a match had been arranged
between herself and Marcus Holcroft, the Earl of Pennington — one of the most eligible
members of London society. Marcus constantly leaves her breathless and confused ...
and though she's hesitant to marry a man she's just met, in the end she has no choice.
But she makes some conditions first ...
Marcus cannot believe that the bride who has been foisted upon him is insisting on rules
to their wedding ... and bedding! He's a man who has never had to tempt any woman into
his arms. But even more surprising is that Gwendolyn is clearly hiding something —
and it shocks him to think that their exquisite kisses — followed by his lessons in
passionate lovemaking — wouldn'tbe enough to make his wife tell him her every
secret. After all, he's promised to be a proper husband — isn't it fair to also
expect a proper wife? — from the publisher
