Lady Roberta St Giles is a woman who has lived with the fact that her family isn't in any way normal or ordinary. Her father is a poet who lives with women openly in a way that makes people ask questions about his family. She calls on a relative to try to get herself on the market. When she sees the Duke of Villiers, a notorious rakehell, she decides he is to be hers.

Damon Reeve, the Earl of Gryffyn thinks differently, but can he win?

It's fun, full of complicated relationships, chess and duels. It was a fun, light read.
