Lady Philom­e­na Mas­ters has already been out for two Sea­sons, tak­ing her mother’s advice not to wed too quick­ly and enjoy her­self. But the thought of a third Sea­son fills her with dread, espe­cial­ly after her father demands that she wed by Season’s end and prefers that he mar­ry her off to a man of his choos­ing, with no regard for her happiness.

Long­ing for her inde­pen­dence, Mena strikes a bar­gain with the duke. In exchange for her enor­mous dowry, he is to grant her the free­dom she longs for. Though she wor­ries about tying her fate to a man of Linden’s rep­u­ta­tion, not to men­tion his debts, the hand­some, charm­ing rogue is a bet­ter alter­na­tive than wed­ding her father’s best friend.

As the cou­ple gets to know one anoth­er, their chem­istry is unde­ni­able, some­thing nei­ther had antic­i­pat­ed but find to their advan­tage. Though feel­ings of love are stirred, nei­ther wish­es to reveal the agree­ment to have a mar­riage of con­ve­nience might have changed. Then an inci­dent occurs which might part the pair forever.
