Plot Synopsis
When the wild, young Lord Sheringham is flatly rejected by the season’s most incomparable beauty, he flies into a furious rage and vows to marry the very next woman he sees. That woman turns out to be Hero Wantage—an innocent, penniless, and charmingly unsophisticated childhood friend who has secretly loved him for years. Their subsequent marriage of convenience sparks an unforgettable, chaotic adventure through the high-society ballrooms and gambling dens of Regency London.
