Harriet, the Duchess of Berrow, is finally seeking some excitement, after a lifetime as a wallflower. And where better to begin than at the house of one of the most disreputable men in the country, Lord Strange?

However, high-stakes games of lust and chance that rule Strange's household mean that even crossing the threshold could entirely ruin her reputation. So Harriet decides to swap her hoops and corsets for a pair of breeched and transforms herself into a young male relayive of the Duke of Villiers.

Before she knows it she's writing bawdy missives on behalf of a young actress, not to mention winning card games played by the most powerful men in England, and having the time of her life.

But when she starts attracting male attention, Hartiet must decide whether to stay in her disguise - or to reveal that she's really a duchess by night...
