Lord Edward Mandrake treasures order, precision, and tranquility. Books and firesides are his companions, and the moment he meets Lady Dot, he knows she is meant to be the third. Falling for her was as simple as breathing, but winning her hand proves anything but. Why does she hold him at arms length, even as sparks fly between them?
