Miss Roxburgh is the most eligible heiress in England, and Samson Draycott is determined to secure her hand. The accusation that he is single-minded in his pursuit perhaps has some merit, but such a match would elevate him into circles he wanted to be in.

Adversaries were simply problems he hadn't dealt with yet. This inconsequential woman is a barrier that simply has to be removed.
