Marianne Devenish arrives in Great Bentley expecting to find her great-uncle in residence. Instead she finds The Earl of Wister, Theodolphus Rickham pretending to be Sir Theodore Devenish, a tulip of the ton, more interested in the cut of his coat than in politics.

Theo's dissembling inevitably leads to misunderstandings and heartbreak and with her reputation in tatters Marianne flees to London. But she is ostracised by society and is obliged to find refuge at Drayton House, a small estate in Hertfordshire. But here her life turns into a nightmare.
Can Theo catch his spy, save Edward and Charles from the gallows and rescue the woman he loves before she is lost to him for ever?

Eleanor Walters is obliged, by the terms of her Aunt's will, to marry a man she cordially dislikes, the irascible, but decidedly attractive, Lord Leo Upminster. Even a loveless union is better than being destitute.
Leo, an ex-colonel, is a man used to being obeyed instantly. He finds her unconventional behaviour infuriating, her beauty irresistible and their agreement not to consummate the union, increasingly impossible. It is only when he allows his frustration and jealousy to drive Eleanor away that he realises what he has lost.
Meanwhile, in her self imposed exile on a neglected county estate, Eleanor becomes embroiled in riots and treachery. It then becomes a desperate race for Leo to save both her life and their marriage.
