After enduring a disastrous unconsummated marriage, Katherine Alesander-Casey lights up her wedding dress in an abandoned bucket and puts all of her enraged energy into proving to her ex-husband and her employer that she is not someone to be academically trifled with.
Determined not to be a victim, she storms toward her sabbatical year in Europe intent on success. Finding herself taken to live under the pampered 'protection' of Santiago James-Ibarra in far off Basque Country, was not what she had in mind.
Santiago's sole purpose in life is to guard his family's ancient honor and sacred line against scandal. Having just spent the past two years warding off international disgrace at his brother's hand, Katherine threatens all his efforts when she turns up unconscious in his limo.
With her unintentional kidnapping comes a potential squall of very public dishonor, exactly what he does not need after finally returning home to his private villa, free of the headache and dangerous temptation that is Ms. Alesander-Casey.
Their hearts come together in a wild tangle of passion, but their lives are in different worlds.
After two weeks of being forced together, can Santiago and Katherine return to their own corners of the world, unscathed?

This is the first time I have read anything of Alexandra's, and I really enjoyed it. I don't want to give anything away here, spoiling it for anyone else, so I will keep this brief.
Katherine and Santiago come from very different worlds. There was a lot of drama, emotion and real passion, as their lives collide. But can opposites really attract? And survive an attraction? Hold on to your horses!

Katherine and Santiago are from different backgrounds and worlds, yet they mesh in a kind of unique way. An unwilling kidnapper and his unexpected victim, two weeks together and an ending they didn't expect.
