It’s not easy to be a titled bachelor—especially one burdened with a teenage son. Everyone wants to marry him. The queen wants to. His mother wants to. Even the ghost of a distant ancestor wants to. Marquis Riccardo di Cassano ends up in an awkward situation: a crowd of young women eager to become his wife. And it would all be fine—he could run away, twist out of it. But then another bride falls on him out of nowhere: a certain Erika di Eldre. And now there’s no getting out of it. Yes, yes—“thank your ancestors” and the magical marriage contract for that. But what about Erika? She absolutely doesn’t want to marry some mysterious marquis. She has her own problems, but she still has to manage. And two people who absolutely don’t want to marry sign a contract. From now on, Erika is his very, very personal assistant. And her first priority is to save the boss from a crowd of brides. Because there are so many brides—and he’s only one.
