Milly Nichols has landed herself in the midst of a scandal after being seen in an amorous clinch with a baron, who then absconded to Gretna Green with someone else. Now her father has arranged for her to marry a lecherous old man, which she absolutely refuses to do. She reaches out to her lifelong friend Lester, Duke of Dainsfield, a scandal in his own right as part owner of a gaming hell better known for its cyprian parties, and asks for help finding a man to marry.
Dainsfield is more than willing to help, but given Milly’s illegitimate birth, he knows the task will be difficult. What he doesn’t expect is the jealousy that erupts when he sees Milly with other men. Can he keep his feelings under control long enough to marry her off, or will he throw more shame on the dukedom and marry her himself?
