Lady Emmy Keswick adores her life in London. Unmarried and unattached, she spends her days and nights flitting about Town, socializing with friends and poking her nose in everyones business—whether or not its welcome. All is splendid in Emmys worlduntil her mother upends it, announcing that she has grown weary of London and will retire to the country once the Season is over. With no other chaperone at her disposal, Emmy will have to go with her, and leave behind the life she loves. Unless, of course, she takes a husband instead
Alexander Whitcomb has zero interest in the so-called delights of London life. Hed rather be at home with his dogs in Berkshire than rubbing elbows with the beau monde in their stuffy ballrooms.

London suffers no shortage of lovely young ladies looking for husbands, but Alex is unimpressed with the lot of themuntil he meets spirited, artless Emmy Keswick.
