"Lady Evangeline Raine, eldest daughter of the Earl of Oberton, has no interest in marriage. Stubborn and unconventional, Effie is a committed spinster who prefers animals to people, much to the dismay of her flirty younger sister Viola. Because their father has one rule: Viola may be courted, only if Effie is. Saddled with debt, Gage Croft, the antisocial and ascetic Duke of Vale, is determined to rebuild his ducal estates. When the owner of his vowels offers him a fortune to charm the impervious Lady Evangeline for the season so Lady Viola can be courted, the game is on, even if it means pretending to seduce an unusual, eccentric wallflower. But seduction is a double-edged sword, and Gage gets much more than he bargains for in an adversary who is as sound of mind as she is of spine, and wants to make her own scandalous arrangement. Effie will go to London for the season, but only if he agrees to be her lover"--
