Two experienced men. One headstrong, innocent debutante…
Miss Elaine Eardley is about to make her comeout, but she has more important things on her mind, like vengeance.
Her sister Catherine believes that Elaine’s hair tells you everything that you need to know about her. It’s flame-red. Catherine also believes that when Duke of Sommerforth invites the Eardleys to his pre-Christmas house party Elaine’s successful comeout is assured.
Unfortunately Elaine is infatuated with “the handsomest man in England”, Sir Oliver Destry. She’s shocked when Sir Oliver calmly tells her that his marriage to her best friend was arranged years ago.
At just 18, Elaine is headstrong and passionate. She sets about the downfall of Sir Oliver and creates a wicked plan. She decides that she’ll win an offer of marriage from Sir Oliver Destry.
There’s not much that will change her mind, not even a nuisance of a duke who decides to interfere.
Two powerful men, wagers at White’s, and a beautiful innocent… what could go wrong?
Just about everything.
Elaine discovers the truth of the old saying that if you want to make the gods laugh, just tell them your plans.
