Cassandra Effington, a sparkling debutante, is admired in London society but remains single as her twin sister Delia is married. Critics say Cassandra’s standards are too lofty. When a scandalous wager is made with the handsome Viscount Berkley — she must find him an ideal bride before he finds hers — Cassandra must navigate the rigid social customs of Regency courtship. Berkley, determined to retain control, has already chosen a wife and will stop at nothing to keep potential partners from winning Cassandra’s heart. Their playful but tense contest ultimately forces them both to confront what genuine connection and marriage truly mean.
