   Summary

   When Nesta learns that her father has lost her sisters inheritance, she has few choices left. There was no knight in shining armor to save them, or any relatives willing to take them in. The only thing a woman has left is her body, and if she is doomed to be a fallen woman, she can at least choose who's mistress she'll be.

   Cassian McKay has made it perfectly clear he will never take a wife. It makes him completely unsuitable as a husband, in addition to being rude, scottish, and incapable of carrying on a polite conversation.

   Good thing Nesta isn't looking for one. If he's willing to save her sisters, she'll agree to anything... including being his.
