Isidore has waited many long, frustrating years for her mysterious husband to come back from exploring the world. They were married by proxy when she was just a child, and she yearns to actually meet the duke himself. Until he returns.

Cosway is not what she expected. He won't powder his hair, has little regard for cravats, and seems frighteningly keen on running around the countryside in nothing but short trousers. Even worse, he takes one look at Isidore and offers an annulment.

But Isidore will not give up her claim to the title - or the duke himself - without a fight. And while she tries to establish whether he is worth sacrificing her virtue and dignity for, the duke begins to discover that there may be more adventures in marriage than in all of the rest of the world.
