Wilfred Zouch, Duke of Aynor, has been in love with his best friend, Miss Irene Chance, since…well, since forever. And she has no idea. It’s not precisely her fault: Wilfred still hasn’t told her.
Besotted with the woman who only sees him as a brother, it is her actual brother who suggests to Wilfred that he should make Irene jealous. And so he does. By pretending to court another lady.
It’s all part of a clever plan in Wilfred’s mind, but Irene finds herself absolutely mortified that her best friend—her Wilfred! —would even consider courting someone without telling her.
